Arteriovenous malformations of the head and neck are rare lesions with unclear pathogenesis. They usually present during childhood, growing proportionately to the child. Although preoperative superselective embolization followed by surgical resection is the treatment of choice, complete removal is often not feasible, leading to high recurrence rates. The case of a patient with an arteriovenous malformation of the floor of the mouth diagnosed late in her adulthood and its management are presented.
头颈部动静脉畸形是一种发病机制不明的罕见病变。它们通常在儿童期出现，并随儿童生长而成比例地生长。虽然术前超选择性栓塞后再进行手术切除是首选的治疗方法，但完全切除往往不可行，导致复发率很高。本文介绍了一名成年后期才被诊断出患有口底动静脉畸形的患者病例及其治疗情况。
