“…Complete removal may be difficult due to diffuse involvement in the head and neck region. They are also known to increase in size during adolescence and after an attempted treatment [5][6][7]. The various modes of treatment that are available commonly include either transarterial vessel occlusion or ablative surgery.…”

Purpose: To demonstrate the management protocol in head and neck vascular malformation Methods: This is a retrospective review of 12 patients of arteriovenous malformation managed at a teaching hospital. Medical records were examined for age at first diagnosis, disease course, prior treatments, and age at presentation, management, therapeutic outcomes, impact on quality of life and photograph at time of presentation.Results: Twelve patients with head and neck arteriovenous malformation presented to our centre. There was equal distribution of males and females with an average age of presentation being 24 years (range 13-40 years). Ten patients out of 12 underwent embolization which was followed by surgery. Complete excision was achieved in eight cases while partial resection was achieved in two cases. Three patients had complications while getting treated. Conclusions:Head and neck AVM can be presented as expansile, invasive and locally aggressive lesions which require detailed evaluation and multidisciplinary approach for treatment.

“…Although amputation effectively controlled A-V malformation in 80 percent of the patients, recurrence or re-expansion is always a concern. Typically, a residual, incompletely resected A-V malformation re-expands 1-2 years after operation but may remain quiescent for decades proving the disease has no cure [8]. Complications of an A-V malformation include spontaneous rupture or traumatic violation, which may result in severe hemorrhage or rarely exsanguinations.…”

Arterio-venous (A-V) malformations of the ear are uncommon lesions. While most are secondary to trauma, spontaneous lesions are very rare. A-V malformations anywhere in the body can have a range of clinical effects from mild disfigurement to cardiac failure. Treatment of these lesions poses a challenge to the surgeon due to their extreme vascularity and high incidence of recurrence. Highly selective arterial embolization and surgical resection offer the best chance for cure. In this article, the authors present a case of acquired A-V malformation of the ear, which was treated successfully by surgical excision without pre-operative embolization with no recurrence on follow-up proving that in areas of easy and superficial access, a preoperative embolization need not be routinely carried out in cases of small to medium sized vascular tumors.

“…Vascular tumours include 'infantile' and 'congenital' type haemangiomas; the former being the most common vascular tumour as well as vascular anomaly. Other types include pyogenic granuloma, tufted angiomas and haemangioendotheliomas, angiosarcomas [3][4][5].…”
