BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Peripheral AVM is a locally aggressive disease with a high tendency to recur; its treatment is complex, especially in the anatomically delicate head and neck area. Here, we report results of ethanol sclerotherapy for head and neck AVM and discuss its potential use for peripheral AVM.

This study shows that CE is a feasible diagnostic method to study the small intestine in pediatric patients and that CE can be done in children as young as 8 months old. The diagnostic yield is highest in cases with bleeding or a high suspicion of Crohn's disease.

Based on this large number of IH pedigrees, we suggest at least 2 possible mechanisms of inheritance: autosomal dominant and maternal transmission. This study highlights the need for additional genetic studies to define inheritance of this common disease.
