Pelvic arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are uncommon lesions and only a rare number of male cases have been reported. Their clinical presentations are variable and imaging modalities have an important place in diagnosis and treatment planning.
We present the imaging findings of a giant congenital pelvic AVM that was diagnosed in a 30-year-old male patient eight years ago and which progressed despite follow-up and treatment, causing cardiac failure, diplegia, and neurogenic bladder.
Pelvic AVMs are uncommon lesions and they can present with various symptoms based on their locations and sizes. Delays in the diagnosis and treatment can cause local and systemic complications. Imaging is very important in the diagnosis of pelvic AVM.
盆腔动静脉畸形（AVM）是罕见病变，仅报道过少数男性病例。其临床表现多样，影像学检查在诊断和治疗规划中具有重要地位。
我们展示了一名30岁男性患者的巨大先天性盆腔AVM的影像学表现，该患者八年前被诊断出患有此病，尽管进行了随访和治疗，但病情仍有进展，导致心力衰竭、双瘫和神经源性膀胱。
盆腔AVM是罕见病变，根据其位置和大小可出现各种症状。诊断和治疗的延迟可导致局部和全身并发症。影像学检查在盆腔AVM的诊断中非常重要。
