Arteriovenous Malformation of the Mandible: Embolization and Direct Injection Therapy

Salvage treatment of hemorrhagic arteriovenous malformations in jaws

“…With the development of interventional radiology, embolotherapy plays an ever-increasing role in the management of AVMs. Endovascular embolization has proved effective for immediate control of bleeding and has to be performed on an emergency basis as the initial treatment of choice (Chandra et al, 2014;Nekooei et al, 2006;Siu et al, 2001). In addition, embolization can preserve the functional anatomy and morphology, whereas surgery may result in malocclusion or disfiguration.…”

Escleroterapia con etanol de las malformaciones vasculares de la cavidad oral

“…Tal como se ha descrito 4 , las MVHA se caracterizaban por ausencia de señal en T2, mientras que las MVHI presentaban alta intensidad de señal en T2. Aunque la afectación mandibular o maxilar no es infrecuente 7,8,17 , en ningún paciente de nuestra serie se detectó infiltración ósea.…”

Obliteration of a Large Mandibular Arterio-Venous Malformation with Polymethyl Methacrylate Bone Cement

“…Symptomatic AVMs should be treated with surgery, embolization, or both (3). Preoperative neoadjuvant or curative transarterial, transvenous, or percutaneous embolization and sclerotic material injections may be performed (4)(5)(6). We present a case with a huge mandibular AVM refractory to multiple embolizations of the supplying arteries, which was treated with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement implantation after the extraction of a molar tooth.…”
