Abstract

An arteriovenous malformation is defined as a congenital lesion of dysplastic vascular origin with large feeding arteries. Previously, attempts at treatment by complete excision of the vascular mass were complicated by severe hemorrhage. With the advantages of angiography, the arteriovenous anomaly can be defined more clearly, and preoperative embolization effectively reduces intraoperative blood loss.This paper describes an extensive arteriovenous malformation supplied by the ipsilateral external carotid artery, internal carotid artery, and vertebral artery and the contralateral external carotid artery. This patient was treated successfully with radiologic microembolization followed by surgical extirpation with little blood loss.
