Summary
Pelvic arteriovenous malformations are rare in males. This case details a seminal vesicle arteriovenous malformation successfully treated with embolization, offering a favorable outcome.
Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Interventional Radiology
Background:
- Pelvic arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are uncommon vascular anomalies.
- Male pelvic AVMs, particularly those involving the seminal vesicles, are exceptionally rare.
Observation:
- A 58-year-old male presented with a diagnosed pelvic arteriovenous malformation.
- The malformation specifically involved the left seminal vesicle, confirmed via angiography.
Findings:
- The patient underwent three embolization procedures to treat the seminal vesicle AVM.
- Successful embolization resulted in favorable clinical progress.
Implications:
- This case highlights embolization as an effective treatment for rare seminal vesicle AVMs.
- It contributes to the limited literature on managing pelvic AVMs in male patients.
