Hi geeksauce, welcome.
Aside from the human factor in "reading"/interpreting imaging, errors can occur from a number of sources, so yes, it's possible that something could have been missed or misinterpreted on the earlier MRI.

If there has been no error, I would not assume that the previous MRI rules out the recent MRI findings as benign AVM.
What you have posted is the
report from the earlier MRI. Your doctor wants to see the
imaging itself, presumably to see/interpret it for himself and compare the two to see what's what.
I empathize with your concern (and that waiting sucks; BT-DT), but I don't see any benefit in drawing any premature conclusions. Hang in there, and please get back to us after your doctor reviews the imaging and you find out anything concrete/definite.
Doc
