Its a 3cm AVM between the occipital and temporal lobe on the right side. This calls for an embelization and a craniotomy back to back.

Brain AVMs affect about 0.1% of the population, and are present at birth, but they rarely affect more than one member of the same family.
Ouch D:

Cerebral arteriovenous malformation! Sorry, I thought I would sound clever if I said the accronym. :/

Hope your okay and all goes well too. That brain is a relic to the mapping community of TWHL. :)

What exactly is this thing doing to you?

I don't think it's doing anything to him.
"Just got Lyssa's MRI scan."
Of course, I could be wrong, and either way it's bad news and I hope everything turns out okay, as I've already said.

Um yeah, I don't know what your talking about, but that x-ray looks pretty messed up, I hope she gets better.

We got the first bit of good news today saying that there's a lot lesser chance she will go blind.

Oh crap, I read that completely wrong, damnit! "ma brain" thing did it. I thought that was Rim's brain, I blame tiredness or 'glancing'.

Still stands though, hope shes okey. That blindness risk aswell is almost scary; atleast the chance is less. Keep positive Rimmy.
