Hello,
If the nidus ( core ) of the AVM is not removed completely then it can grow back over time and cause symptoms again.
You need to have an Angiogram and an Embolization of the AVM followed by surgical excision of the same.
This would be a permanent cure.
This can be done by a Vascular Interventional Radiologist like myself.
