Our Experience in the Surgical Management of Arterio-Venous Malformations of the head and neck
SUMMARY: Introduction: Vascular anomalies comprise a diverse group of abnormalities in blood vessel morphogenesis that usually occur prenatally. Arterio-venous malformations (AVMs) are rare congenital vascular lesions accounting for 1.5% of all vascular anomalies, with 50% of them occur in the oral...

| description | SUMMARY: Introduction: Vascular anomalies comprise a diverse group of abnormalities in blood vessel morphogenesis that usually occur prenatally. Arterio-venous malformations (AVMs) are rare congenital vascular lesions accounting for 1.5% of all vascular anomalies, with 50% of them occur in the oral and maxillo-facial regions. Treatment of large, complex vascular lesions is a serious challenge for patients and surgeons because it can cause disfigurement and massive haemorrhage, which may be spontaneous or the result of surgical intervention. Our study aimed to demonstrate surgical management of massive AVMs of the head and neck. Method: This retrospective study shows the treatment outcomes of 28 patients with massive maxillo-facial vascular malformations, who presented to our department for treatment from 1 January 2015 to 31 July 2022. Results: Twenty-eight patients with a mean age of 17.32 ± 12.21 years (women: 15, men: 13) were enrolled in the study. Diagnosis included extra cranial AVMs of the head and neck region. Treatment modalities, in isolation or combination, included angioembolisation procedure, sclerotherapy, and surgery. Conclusion: Management of AVMs is challenging owing to the replacement of normal tissue by the diseased ones and the high rate of recurrence. Hence, multi-modal approaches are needed for the effective restoration of tissues. |
