In an arteriovenous malformation (AVM), arteries feed directly into veins through a vascular tangle of malformed vessels. A cavernous angioma is a blood vessel abnormality associated with subdural hematomas. Telangiectasia are simple "spider veins" usually found on the skin. An arteriovenous angioma usually is found deep within the brain and often leads to seizures and hemiparesis.
