Roughly 88 % of people affected with AVM are asymptomatic ; often the malformation is discovered as part of an autopsy or during treatment of an unrelated disorder ( called in medicine " an incidental finding "); in rare cases its expansion or a micro-bleed from an AVM in the brain can cause epilepsy, deficit or pain.

Nevertheless in more than half of patients with AVM, hemorrhage is the first symptom.

Following the bleed's cessation, the AVM victim returns to normal, after his or her blood vessel has had time to repair itself.
