What is cecal avm?

Cecal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a rare vascular anomaly located in the cecum, the pouch at the beginning of the large intestine. It involves an abnormal connection between arteries and veins, bypassing the normal capillary network, which can lead to various complications, including gastrointestinal bleeding or ischemia. Diagnosis often requires imaging studies, and management may involve endovascular techniques or surgical intervention, depending on the severity of symptoms. Early detection is crucial for preventing complications.
