“…1 AVMs of the eyelid and canthus are uncommon with only few isolated case reports and small case series. [2][3][4][5] Endovascular treatment of these highly vascular lesions prior to surgical removal by selective embolization of the arterial feeders has been documented. 3 However, endovascular embolization in lid lesions is technically challenging, due to the complex nature of the arterial supply of the orbit and its adnexa with its rich anastomoses.…”

Inner canthal or palpebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are uncommon and difficult lesions to treat if they are of high-flow type. Though they may present with mainly cosmetic reasons, they derive feeders from the ophthalmic artery and are associated with dangerous anastomoses. Percutaneous liquid embolic agent has been used to treat various head and neck vascular malformations and tumors and, if done in meticulous attention to detail, can offer cure or control before surgical excision. We report three adults who presented with medial canthal swelling and on imaging diagnosed to have high-flow AVMs. They underwent percutaneous n-butyl cyanoacrylate (glue) embolization and subsequently operated to excise the embolized malformation without any blood loss or complications.

Ocular adnexal aterio-venous malformations (AVMs) are rare congenital disabling anomalies, which may enlarge causing disfiguring deformity and rarely severe hemorrhage. These lesions are generally treated by preliminary endovascular embolization to shrink the arterio-venous malformation, followed by surgical gross total resection. The authors report a case of eyelid arterio-venous malformation in a 12-year-old girl, which progressively increased in size in few months. The patient complained mild itching, blurring of the vision, and mild tenderness. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an expansive mass with multiple arterial vessels at the left superior eyelid and left forehead. The diagnosis of arterio-venous malformation was then confirmed by digital subtraction angiography. Primary surgical excision was excluded because of the high risk of intrasurgical bleeding. Embolization through superselective cannulation of the left external carotid feeder vessels was performed resulting in flow exclusion up to the 80% of the nidus. Subsequent surgical resection was not recommended due to clinical evidence of keloid-prone skin.
