Arteriovenous malformation of both the maxilla and mandible in a pediatric patient is a very rare phenomenon that carries with it a high mortality rate. Arteriovenous malformations, sometimes known as simple vascular tumors, can be present from birth or acquired over time due to trauma, surgery, or any kind of vascular manipulation of an area of the body.

SUMMARY The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a newly designed circular ring compression device that allows safe and effective glue injection during preoperative embolization of high-flow superficial craniofacial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). The device was used in 4 cases of craniofacial AVM with multiple feeding arteries and draining veins. It provided a safe glue in...

Cerebral arteriovenous malformation embolisation is a therapeutic, neuroradiological procedure involving injection of bucrylate glue into the nidus of the AV malformation to obliterate the abnormal vascular network. These procedures may involve significant risks, are often long and thereby necessitate the need for some form of sedation and for adequate monitoring of the cerebral, cardiovascular...

A mandibular arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is rare, and unawareness of this condition can lead to catastrophic complications. Embolization is an effective means to treat these lesions. The osseous changes and long-term outcomes among the pediatric patients after embolization treatment remain unclear. We present a 6-year-old patient with mandibular arteriovenous malformation who had sustained...

Gamma knife radiosurgery is an effective technique for treating arteriovenous malformations. However, treatment failures can occur as a result of incomplete visualization of the arteriovenous malformation nidus. We describe the use of bilateral femoral artery catheterization and simultaneous dual vessel cerebral angiography to facilitate treatment planning during gamma knife treatment.

The authors report on a patient presenting with subarachnoid hemorrhage that was caused by a rupture of an spinal combined arteriovenous malformation at cervicothoracic junction. The patient was a 30-year-old female, who had exhibited an abrupt onset of severe low neck and occipital pain with radiation into shoulders and vomiting. Neurological examination revealed severe meningism without motor...
