In March 2022, Chloe Hermansen, then 23, began to feel her pulse in her right eye. She’d always had migraines, dating back to when she was first diagnosed with an unusual malformation of blood vessels ...

Developmental venous anomalies (DVAs) represent the most common cerebral vascular malformation, generally considered benign congenital variants of venous drainage. Nevertheless, there is increasing ...

In the condition known as cavernoma, lesions arise in a cluster of blood vessels in the brain, spinal cord or retina. Researchers from Uppsala University can now show, at molecular level, that these ...

Sound waves at frequencies above the threshold for human hearing are routinely used in medical care. Also known as ultrasound, these sound waves can help clinicians diagnose and monitor disease, and ...

A pair of studies, led by Medical College of Wisconsin scientists at Children's Research Institute in Milwaukee, may translate into rapid molecular tests to distinguish between hemangiomas and ...

Cavernous malformations, also known as "cavernous angiomas," "cavernous hemangiomas" or just "cavernomas" are clusters of tightly packed abnormal blood vessels surrounded by normal brain tissue.

An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a tangle of blood vessels. It can develop anywhere in the body, but it presents the most risk when it occurs in the brain or spinal cord. An AVM can result in ...

Recent advances in understanding venous malformation disease pathogenesis highlight the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway as a key driver of disease proliferation, spurring real-world off-label use of systemic ...
