Title: Contralateral de novo intraosseous arteriovenous malformation in a child with arteriovenous malformation of mandible treated by endovascular embolotherapy. A case report. Author: Yeh CH, Wu YM, Chen YL, Wong HF. Journal: Interv Neuroradiol; 2012 Dec; 18(4):484-9. PubMed ID: 23217644. Abstract: We describe our experience of the development of contralateral de novo intraosseous AVMs in a ten-year-old girl with AVMs of the mandible who underwent endovascular embolotherapy. She initially presented with intermittent oral bleeding. Computed tomography and digital subtraction angiography demonstrated intraosseous AVMs within the right mandible. The AVMs were treated by transosseous direct-puncture and transarterial embolization with Guglielmi detachable coils and n-butyl cyanoacrylate glue. However, de novo intraosseous AVMs developed within the previously healthy contralateral mandible and resulted in dangerous oral bleeding. Therefore, we suggest regular follow-up and prompt retreatment of any residual mandibular AVMs in patients undergoing endovascular or surgical treatment to prevent subsequent development of "secondary" AVMs and life-threatening oral bleeding.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
