“…The cure rate of Schobinger stage II AVMs with the current standard treatment, total resection after embolization, has been reported as 62% [1] . Richter et al [3] reported the surgical management and results for 11 cases of AVMs of the tongue. They emphasized the broad spectrum of this disease and divided their cases into 2 different types, i.e.…”

“…They usually exist bilaterally and are fed by multiple arteries, including lingual, facial and internal maxillary arteries. Progressive growth usually manifests after intervention including embolization, ligation and insufficient surgical resection [3,18] . The standard treatment for this category is embolization followed by combined wide total excision with flap reconstruction.…”

We report a successful outcome for a large arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the tongue treated with CyberKnife® (CK) image-based stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). A 56-year-old man presenting with a tongue AVM underwent ligation of the lingual artery and partial resection of the nidus. Sixteen years later, his pulsating submandibular mass had enlarged. An image study revealed a remarkable re-expansion of the nidus involving the tongue and the oral floor, with a volume of 130 ml. CK SRS was performed with 2 fractions. The prescribed marginal dose was 22 Gy. Thirty-four months after SRS, angiography demonstrated complete obliteration of the nidus without major adverse effects. We conclude that CK SRS may be suitable for the treatment of AVMs in the head and neck region.

“…It is inexpensive, quick, and convenient and there are no known harmful effects, since it uses non-ionising radiation suited to the soft tissues and it does not cause any pain. Ultrasound can be used to guide the optical fibres to the appropriate disease volume, enabling more accurate evaluation of treatment doses [17,21].…”

A AB BS ST TR RA AC CT T Large arteriovenous vascular malformations (AVM) of the jaws are relatively rare and potentially life-threatening lesions. When these lesions are not suspected, extraction of teeth or other surgery procedures can be fatal in dentistry. Gingival bleeding seems to be a symptom common to most documented cases. Despite their benign histology, deep lesions can produce serious systemic signs and symptoms due to extensive arteriovenous shunting and soft tissue hypertrophy. Mandibular AVM shows a wide variety of signs and symptoms, such as dental mobility, otalgia, secondary pain due to thrombosis, facial asymmetry, and cosmetic distress. A clinical case report was presented in this study. A 24-year-old girl, seen for gingival bleeding during oral hygiene and facial asymmetry, was found to have a high-flow AVM located around the right mandible. In dental and clinical examination, although she had good oral hygiene, common gingival bleeding was observed. At the mandibular rigth molar region, non-hemorrhagic, gingival granulomatous swelling was noted. Scaling and root planning and polishing was performed to the teeth carefully. The patient was called maintenance phases. During 2 year, no recurrence of the lesion has been seen. Dentists must always consider the possibility and be able to recognize the clinical signs of AVMs in order to propose proper treatment. Because, AVMs of the maxillofacial region give rise to dental emergencies and may cause disfigurement, morbidity, even death. K Ke ey yw wo or rd ds s: : Vascular malformations; dentistry Ö ÖZ ZE ET T Çenelerin geniş arteriovenöz vasküler malformasyonları (AVMs) nadir ve yaşamı tehdit eden lezyonlardır. Bu lezyonlar tespit edilemediği zaman, diş çekimi ya da diğer cerrahi işlemler ölüm-cül olabilir. Çalışılmış vakaların çoğunda dişeti kanaması yaygın bir semptom olarak görülür. Benin histolojisine rağmen, derin lezyonlar yumuşak doku hipertrofisi ve aşırı arteriovenöz damar yumağı nedeniyle ciddi sistemik belirti ve semptomlar gösterir. Alt çene AVM leri kozmetik problemler, fasiyal asimetri, trombozis nedeniyle sekonder ağrı, otalji, dişlerde mobilite gibi geniş bir semptom ve belirti spektrumu gösterir. Bu çalışmada klinik bir vaka raporu sunulmuştur. Fasiyal asimetri ve oral hijyenik bakım esnasında dişeti kanaması olan 24 yaşındaki kadın hastada sağ mandibula çevresinde yerleşimli yüksek akımlı AVM varlığı tespit edildi. Dental ve klinik muayenede, oral hijyen iyi olmasına rağmen, hastada yaygın dişeti kanaması gözlendi. Mandibular sağ molar bölgede, non-hemorajik, granülomatöz dişeti büyümesi kaydedildi. Dikkatli bir şekilde diş taşı temizliği, kök yüzeyi düzleştirme ve polisaj işlemi uygulandı. Hasta idame fazlarına çağrıldı. İki yıl süresince lezyonda hiç nüks görülmedi. Maksillofasiyal bölgenin arteriovenöz vasküler malformasyonları sıklıkla diş hekimliğinde acil durumlara yol açar ve morbidite ve hatta ölümle sonuçla-nabilir. AVM ler nadir lezyonlar olmasına rağmen, diş hekimleri bu olasılığı her zaman göz önünde bulundurmalı ve uyg...
