“…Yokouchi et al [ 9 ] classified AVMs into three groups based on their anomalous connections. Additionally, Gopinath et al [ 10 ] classified scalp AVMs into two types: plexiform and fistulous, depending on their angiographic features. The plexiform variant presents a more complex network of aberrant vessels within the nidus, while the fistulous type features an aberrant arterial feeder directly emptying into a venous reservoir without intricate tangles.…”

Cirsoid aneurysms, formerly identified as arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), represent infrequent vascular anomalies primarily localized within the scalp. These anomalies are typified by the absence of interposing capillaries, giving rise to extensively vascularized, expanded conduits connecting arterial feeders and venous outflows. This report details a case of a 13-year-old male afflicted with a cirsoid aneurysm in the scalp, who presented with swelling on the left frontal region, accompanied by headache and pulsatile sensations. Definitive diagnosis was achieved through radiological and histopathological examinations. Scalp cirsoid aneurysms may either be congenital in nature or arise following traumatic incidents, with clinical manifestations typically surfacing in the third decade of life. Common clinical presentations encompass a palpable, pulsatile subcutaneous mass, throbbing headaches, tinnitus, and cosmetic concerns. Diverse therapeutic strategies, including surgical excision, endovascular embolization, and percutaneous injection of sclerosing agents, can be employed contingent upon the particular characteristics of the lesion.

“…3,13 However, less invasive interventions such as endovascular coil embolization, sclerotherapy, and electrothrombosis and ligation of the feeder vessels may be preferred. 1,5,8,10,11,[13][14][15][16] Endovascular treatment can be used as definitive therapy or as an adjunct to open interventions to preoperatively reduce the flow and subsequent hemorrhage, thus facilitating complete removal of high flow lesions. 10,11 During this procedure, the fistula is accessed via the transarterial, transvenous, and direct percutaneous routes.…”

“…10,11 During this procedure, the fistula is accessed via the transarterial, transvenous, and direct percutaneous routes. 1,3,14,15 Although highly effective, limitations of these endovascular techniques include recanalization or recruitment of other external carotid branches; delayed resolution of the mass systemic; thrombin effects with thrombin embolization; and ischemia with endovascular coiling. 2,3,14 A retrospective study by Do et al 16 evaluated ethanol embolization in 175 patients and demonstrated a 40% complete cure, 18% persistence, and 2% worsening of symptoms.…”

An arteriovenous malformation is a rare vascular anomaly composed of a complex network of interconnected arteries and veins of the scalp. It is usually congenital, but infrequently occurs after trauma. Over the years, several terms have been used to describe these lesions, such as cirsoid/rasemose/arteriovenous aneurysm, plexiform angioma and aneurysma serpentinum, or arteriovenous fistula when a single connection exists. Head and neck malformations occur in 0.1% of the population. Involvement of the superficial temporal artery is rare, occurring in about 0.5% to 2.0% of cases. They are diagnosed by angiography and can be managed by endovascular or open resection. The case of a 23-year-old man who presented with a pulsatile head mass after blunt trauma 5 years prior is presented. This entity was diagnosed as an arteriovenous malformation supplied by the superficial temporal arteries. He subsequently underwent successful open exploration and resection. The information is presented with the patient's consent.

Las malformaciones arteriovenosas congénitas del cuero cabelludo representan el 8.1% de todas las malformaciones arteriovenosas, y son más frecuentes en adultos jóvenes. El objetivo de este trabajo es la presentación del caso de un recién nacido de sexo masculino, de 1 día de vida extrauterina y portador de una malformación arteriovenosa del cuero cabelludo, de alto flujo, localizada en la región parietooccipital izquierda, de difícil manejo y que culminó con el fallecimiento del paciente. No se cuentan con reportes similares en la literatura, por lo que se considera un caso clínico interesante.
