Intraosseous resection of mandibular arteriovenous malformations: A mandible sparing multi-disciplinary case series

Mandibular arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are high flow vascular malformations that can cause pain, hypertrophy, deformity, malocclusion, jaw asymmetry, bone destruction, tooth loss, and severe bleeding [1]. Although general principles apply, the rarity of mandibular AVMs limits definitive agreement on the best course of treatment. Current treatment options include embolization, sclerotherapy, surgical resection, or some combination of techniques [2]. [3]. An alternative multidisciplinary technique of embolization with mandibular-sparing resection is presented. This technique aims to mitigate bleeding with effective removal of the AVM, while preserving mandibular form, function, dentition, and occlusion.
