“…SAVMs are accounting for 8% of all AVMs and are mostly present in the subcutaneous and cutaneous scalp layer. 1 They can be present in all scalp regions with temporo-parietal being the commonest, as also evident in our study. 3 Main source of feeders is from superficial temporal and occipital artery.…”

“…Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs) are high flow vascular malformations found all over the body. 1 Scalp has the thickest layer of skin in the body (3-8 mm) 2 and scalp arteriovenous malformations (SAVMs) account for 8% of all AVMs. 1 SAVMs mostly originate in the subcutaneous layer of scalp which contain the vessels and nerves and rarely has intracranial extension.…”

BACKGROUND Scalp arteriovenous malformations (SAVMs) are seen in young individuals and skin involvement is common in large SAVMs. They are commonly seen in younger age group too. Pre-operative embolization followed by surgical excision and hair bearing scalp reconstruction with tissue expansion are the treatment of choice. Therefore, proper selection of tissue expander for reconstruction of hair bearing scalp, seems essential. This study evaluated excision of large SAVMs with aesthetic scalp reconstruction. METHODS We described management of 10 patients of large SAVMs with cutaneous involvement. All patients underwent pre-op embolization followed by surgical excision and hair bearing scalp reconstruction with tissue expansion. RESULTS All cases of large SAVMs healed well with minor complications. CONCLUSION While complete surgical excision with extirpation of the nidus is considered as the gold standard treatment, aesthetic hair bearing scalp restoration is also of paramount importance for the patient. This is done by using scalp tissue expansion after proper selection of the expander.

“…In turn, these shunts canalise to form small arteriovenous connections and cause a cycle of dilation to start. This causes local ischaemia and recruitment of vascular collaterals 7. Furthermore, it is suggested that a few scalp AVMs may be due to infection 8.…”
