Arterio Venous Malformation of Tongue – A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
AVM of the tongue is a rare cranio-facial vascular abnormality. It occurs because of the failure of complete involution of the fetal capillary bed resulting in development of anomalous connections between arteries and veins. It may be overlooked at birth due to its innocent appearance. Progression of the AVMs is commonly induced by puberty, trauma, and pregnancy. Some forms of treatment, including ligation of arterial feeders, partial excision, incomplete arterial embolization, and laser treatment can trigger progression of quiescent AVM’s. Herein, we report a case of 34 – year –old woman who presented with a growing lesion in the floor of the tongue.
