Our technique of open cranial reconstruction with nonabsorbable suture nylon 2/0 as sole method of fixation has resulted in good aesthetic outcome with low reoperations and complications rate. Longer follow-up is needed to ascertain our long-term results.

Arteriovenous malformations are congenital vascular malformations with a high flow rate. They are made up of a complex vessel system that forms a nidus by connecting feeding arteries to draining veins. Arteriovenous malformations can be fatal due to progressive symptoms and infiltrative disease. The head and neck are the most affected areas by extracranial arteriovenous malformations, followed by the limbs. Hormonal changes during pregnancy lead to the expansion of arteriovenous malformations, which may lead to aggressive progression. We present a case of a patient who had a very rare presentation of ruptured forehead arteriovenous malformations during her fifth pregnancy. A combination of radiological embolization followed by surgical excision was used to treat the condition.

Webbed neck deformity is a congenital anomaly that exists in several syndromes. Various techniques for surgically correcting the webbed neck deformity have been described in the literature, each comes with its own advantages and disadvantages. The aim of surgery is to achieve normal neck contour and symmetrical hairline, avoid excessive scarring over the anterior and lateral neck, and limit recurrence. In this report, we described our experience in managing a case of Turner syndrome with bilateral webbed neck deformity using the modified five-flap Z-plasty technique.
