A RARE CASE OF ARTERIOVENOUS MALFORMATIO
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The external ear is the second most common site for extracranial arteriovenous malformation in the head and neck. Arteriovenous malformations are rare in the head and neck region and generally arise from intracranial vessels. We present a case with spontaneous arteriovenous malformation related to the pinna arising from branches of external carotid artery and draining into external jugular vein. The role of colour Doppler sonography and computer tomography in the diagnosis and management of such cases is discussed along with a review of the literature. History mmanuel, Luschka and Virchow first described arteriovenous malformations in the mid-1800s. Olivecrona performed the first surgical excision of an intracranial AVM in 1932.
