"It is worth separating lesions without arteriovenous shunting (i.e. cavernous malformations) from those that do have shunting (i.e. AVM and AVF). Notably, much of the older literature described all arteriovenous shunting lesions as arteriovenous malformations (AVM), but newer classifications have distinguished arteriovenous malformations from arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) 13."
