Abstract

Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the head and neck is a rare and potentially life-threatening entity due to massive hemorrhage, which poses a challenge to surgeons treating patients with these lesions. The head and neck region accounts for approximately 50% of all arteriovenous malformations (AVM), and the same region also accounts for about approximately 50% of intraosseous AVM in the maxillary facial region, which can be very dangerous, as a simple tooth extraction or a biopsy can lead to a major hemorrhage that may eventually cause death. The Treatment may be surgical or non-surgical.
