Intracranial arteriovenous malformation

Intracranial arteriovenous malformation

Intracranial arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a congenital disease characterized by abnormal development of cerebral blood vessels. The main change is a direct connection between arteries and veins at the affected site, leading to problems in the vascular network and a series of changes in blood flow. The incidence is slightly higher in males than in females, with the typical age of onset being 20-39 years. 64% of cases are diagnosed or manifest before the age of 40.

Spinal cord tumor

Spinal cord tumor

A spinal cord tumor is a tumor that occurs in any segment of the spinal cord or in the cauda equina. The spinal cord controls the movement and sensation of the limbs, as well as the movement and sensation of the internal organs, allowing all tissues and organs of the human body to function normally. Therefore, when a spinal cord tumor occurs, the patient's neurological movement or sensation will be affected to varying degrees.
