Title: Treatment of Arteriovenous Malformation of the Mandible With Resection and Immediate Reconstruction
Abstract: Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the mandible is a rare entity but one that has significant potential for fatality due to massive hemorrhage. Current treatment has involved surgical resection of the mandible in conjunction with adjunctive endovascular embolization to help control hemorrhage. However, jaw resection is deforming and often leaves a significant defect requiring subsequent bone grafting and replacement of lost teeth. We report an endovascular and surgical technique to treat central AVMs of the mandible that permits resection and complete removal of the intraosseous lesion yet prevents facial deformity by preserving the mandibular bone contour and permitting reconstruction of the dentition and restoration of function.
