There are many websites that someone can visit to find information on arteriovenous malformation. Examples of some websites are Wikipedia, and Mayo Clinic.
An AVM is an arteriovenous malformation, so it is a malformation that connects arteries and veins, while a Chiari Malformation (more commonly referred to as an Arnold-Chiari Malformation) is one where part of the brain herniates (pushes through) the base of the skull.
There is no specific vitamin or mineral deficiency known to cause Arnold Chiari malformation in children at birth. The condition is believed to arise from abnormal brain development during fetal growth.
Yes, it can. Rebleed rates are variable, but doctors don't know what causes bleeds. You can find out more on the Angioma Alliance website, www.angiomaalliance.org.
Paranoid schizophrenia is one of a few types of schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a chronic mental illness in which reality is interpreted abnormally.
No. Hallucinations are one of the many symptoms of schizophrenia.
There can be a bunch of symptoms caused by Chiari malformation-it seems that one common one is headaches (this is my symptom from it also). A few websites that have helped me out a lot are www.asap.org and www.columnofhope.com.
There is no one specific test, especially not one that is available on the Internet. If you think that you may have schizophrenia, you should see a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist will be able to diagnose you if you do have schizophrenia.
At one point, schizophrenia was called "dementia praecox". Some people may say that "multiple personality disorder", "split personality", or "dissociative identity disorder" are other names for schizophrenia. However, the condition that these names describe is not the same as schizophrenia.
A congenital arteriovenous fistula is one that formed during fetal development. It is a birth defect. In congenital fistulas, blood vessels of the lower extremity are more frequently involved than other areas of the body.
Many people with schizophrenia do have trouble sleeping. One study suggested that 44% of people with schizophrenia meet the diagnostic criteria for insomnia.
Arteriovenous Oxygen difference measures the amount of oxygen extracted by the tissues from blood during one trip around systemic circulation. During exercise, cells consume more oxygen, therefore, more oxygen goes from the arteries to the cells and less oxygen circulates in the veins. This means that the Arteriovenous Oxygen difference increases with exercise.
