High Flow Scalp Arteriovenous Malformation: A Case Report

Hamed Ghoddusi Johari et al. World J Plast Surg. 2020 May.

Abstract

Scalp arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are abnormal vascular lesions, which can be managed effectively and safely with surgical or endovascular approaches. Here, we discuss a case of scalp AVM malformation in a 25-year-old female, in which due to the proximity of the feeder artery to right orbit, surgical excision was preferred and the AVM was excised with an uneventful post-op course.

Keywords: Arteriovenous malformation; Scalp; Surgery; Vascular.
