Re: Another Question..........

Grace,

An Arterio-Venous Malformation, or AVM is an abnormal collection of blood

vessels. We don't know what causes most AVMs. People are born with AVMs,

although they do not appear to inherit them from their parents nor do they

give them to their children. It appears that AVMs may be caused by a rupture

or clotting of a blood vessel that happens during development before one is

born. It is usually not associated with either other maldevelopments or with

other AVMs.

Could this be linked to EDS? Possibly!

It is important for you to know that you can not use aspirin or aspirin

containing compounds. Do not use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents. If

you were to bleed, these agents may make the bleed worse.

Another Question..........

Does anyone know if Arterial Venous Malformation's can be liked with

EDS? This was found in my lower spine as well as several herniated

disks. I've read that it is Genetic. Other then that I really have

no clue. Can anyone help with this? Thanks in advance!

HUGGLES,

Grace
