@rubyruru I'm new to this forum. I , too have been diagnosed with congenital AVM. I'm 70 y.o. and have been asymptomatic. My first surgeon recommended only radiation treatment as surgery is not an option due to location. A friend informed me Stanford has an AVM clinic and I got a second opinion there. Surprisingly, they recommend surgery. He sounded confident that he can take it all away. Nevertheless, I am quite apprehensive. I would love to hear others experience who have done the surgery. I need to decide.
