[Mandibular arteriovenous angioma and the circumstances of discovery: fissuration syndrome]

Abstract

We report a case of high-flow mandibular arteriovenous angioma which was remarkably silent. In our experience, embolization or surgical repair must be as distal as possible. Together with other authors, we believe that to be successful embolization treatment should associate hyperselective embolization via an arterial route and transcutaneous puncture embolization to dry the bed of the mandibular arteriovenous angioma.
