Diagnosed with a brain AVM? Recovering from a brain hemorrhage?

Nose bleeds are common symptom of HHT, a rare genetic disorder that increases a person's chance of an AVM by 30,000! UPenn is one of two centers of excellence in the United States for HHT.

Visual Symptoms are common early indicators in AVM patients. Visual problems can be present even with 20/20 vision! That's because the brain controlling the eye muscles is typically affected as opposed to the eye itself. The visual issues can present as double vision (horizontal, vertical and/or torsional diplopia), eye bouncing or other lack of eye muscle control (blepharospasm, eyelid apraxia). Neuro-ophthalmologists and neuro-opticians should be consulted.
