Arteriovenous malformations (AVM) of mandibula are rare abnormal congenital vascular condition that can result in serious complications. Although, various treatment options have been advocated in the literature, there seems to be no complete consensus on a suitable treatment option in these cases. Here, we describe a case of mandibular AVM, who has presented with massive oral bleeding, treated successfully by embolization of the bilateral external carotid arteries and the left superior thyroid artery. During the procedure, the patient developed symptoms of acute ischemic stroke that was diagnosed and managed during the same session by endovascular techniques.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
