Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the mandible are relatively rare and potentially life-threatening lesions. Treatment is usually difficult. This study presents a case with high-flow AVM of the mandible in which most of the AVM were occluded by transvenous coil embolization.
Transvenous embolization using several size 57 microcoils and 3 Gianturco coils was performed through a right femoral vein access. The small residual AVM was occluded by superselective transarterial injection of cyanoacrylate.
Angiography after embolization showed almost complete obliteration of AVM. Panoramic radiograph 2 years after treatment confirmed reossification. There was no recurrence of the symptoms in a follow-up evaluation 2 years later.
Transvenous coil embolization may be a safer and more effective method in the treatment of mandibular AVM.
下颌骨动静脉畸形(AVM)相对罕见且可能危及生命,治疗通常较为困难。本研究报告了一例下颌骨高流量AVM病例,其中大部分AVM通过经静脉弹簧圈栓塞得以闭塞。
通过右股静脉入路,使用多个57号微弹簧圈和3个Gianturco弹簧圈进行经静脉栓塞。通过超选择性经动脉注射氰基丙烯酸酯闭塞小的残余AVM。
栓塞后血管造影显示AVM几乎完全闭塞。治疗2年后的全景X线片证实有骨再生。2年后的随访评估中症状无复发。
经静脉弹簧圈栓塞可能是治疗下颌骨AVM更安全、有效的方法。
