“…Furthermore, some studies have linked overexpression of genes like NOTCH 3 and 4, ACVRL1, EPHB4 and RASA1 as well as mutations in MAP2K1, KRAS, and BRAF genes to the vasculogenesis of AVMs [35][36][37] . Most scalp AVMs are supplied by branches from the external carotid artery, such as the superficial temporal artery 47) .…”

Vascular malformations are structural abnormalities that are thought to result from errors in vasculogenesis and angiogenesis during embryogenesis. Vascular malformations of the scalp present unique management challenges due to aesthetic and functional implications. This review examines the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and management techniques for six common types of vascular malformations of the face and scalp : infantile hemangioma, capillary malformations, venous malformations, lymphatic malformations, arteriovenous malformations, and arteriovenous fistulas. These lesions range from common to rare, and have very different natural histories and management paradigms. There has been increasing understanding of the molecular pathways that are altered in association with these vascular lesions and these molecular targets may represent novel strategies of treating lesions that have historically been approached from a structural perspective only.

Scalp arterio-venous malformations (AVM) are rare conditions that are congenital, traumatic, or post infectious in nature. These lesions may be found incidentally or owing to signs and symptoms that they produce, and they most often need surgical treatment. Here, we have reported our experience of the surgical management of multi-layered scalp AVM without interosseous intracranial connections with a short review of the literature. In this case report, we described the diagnosis, both the clinical and radiological features of a patient having a multi-layered scalp arteriovenous malformation existing in the galea and pericranial layers separately who underwent surgical excision of these lesions at Ibn Al Haitham Hospital without preoperative embolization and a follow-up period of 15 months. The lesions were successfully excised surgically; scalp cosmetic aspects were acceptable. There was no major postoperative complication or recurrence until last follow-up. We conclude that with appropriate preoperative surgical planning, scalp AVM can be excised without major complications leading to excellent outcome. However, preoperative embolization is increasingly used to reduce vascularity and hemorrhage during surgery.
