Summary
Intraosseous mandibular arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare but serious conditions. This study details the imaging and endovascular embolization of a high-flow AVM in the mandible using Guglielmi detachable coils.
Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Vascular Surgery
- Radiology
Background:
- Intraosseous mandibular arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are uncommon vascular anomalies.
- These malformations pose significant clinical risks, including dental emergencies, disfigurement, and potentially fatal complications.
Observation:
- A rare case of a high-flow vascular malformation in the mandibular body is presented.
- The malformation mimicked a dental cyst on initial presentation.
Findings:
- Radiological imaging revealed the characteristic appearance of the intraosseous mandibular AVM.
- Successful endovascular treatment was achieved using Guglielmi detachable coils (GDC) for embolization.
Implications:
- Accurate radiological diagnosis is crucial for identifying these rare mandibular AVMs.
- Endovascular embolization with GDC provides an effective treatment option for high-flow mandibular AVMs.
- Timely intervention can prevent severe complications associated with untreated mandibular AVMs.
