    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) are vascular anomalies that may threaten functional and vital prognosis. The aim of this study was to assess the managment of Arteriovenous malformation METHODS: It is a retrospective study about 54 patients, having AVM, collected over a 7-year period. RESULTS: Sex ratio MJF was 1.25; average age at the diagnosis was 25.4 years. Puberty, pregnancy and trauma, were the most important favoring factors for the development of AVM. Location was the head in 75% of the cases. Doppler ultrasound was the most indicated examination to confirm the diagnosis. In over than 70% of our patients, therapeutic abstention and follow-up were indicated. In the other cases, embolization, with or without surgery was the treatment. A patient died of massive haemorrhage. Treatment is necessary in complicated AVM. Follow-up (if abstention or after treatment) is mainly based on clinical and Doppler data. CONCLUSIONS: AVM are anomalies that may be serious and their management must be multidisciplinary, to allow better therapeutic indications.
