Arteriovenous malformation
Abnormal connection between arteries and veins, bypassing the capillaries
Summary
An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an abnormal connection between arteries and veins, bypassing the capillary system. Usually congenital, this vascular anomaly is widely known because of its occurrence in the central nervous system, but can appear anywhere in the body. The symptoms of AVMs can range from none at all to intense pain or bleeding, and they can lead to other serious medical problems.

Changed "Computerized tomography" to "Computed tomography" to fix a common error in nomenclature. The imaging modality is so named because the image is computed (reconstructed), not because it is performed by a computer.
