Myla is only 2 years old, but her family has already traveled from Canada to Italy in search of treatment for an extremely complex vascular condition.

Myla was diagnosed with CM-AVM (Capillary Malformation–Arteriovenous Malformation syndrome), a rare genetic disorder ᴀssociated with abnormal blood-vessel development. In her case, she also has a high-flow arteriovenous malformation (AVM) affecting the left side of her face and head.

Her condition has led her family on a difficult international search for specialists and treatment options that could safely address the malformation.

Her story is similar to other families who have traveled long distances while searching for specialized care for severe vascular malformations.

Behind Myla’s bright smile is a little girl facing an extraordinarily complex medical journey—and a family determined to find the best possible care for her.

At just 2 years old, Myla is already showing incredible strength as her family continues searching for answers and hope.
