Mandibular arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare and potentially life-threatening vascular lesions. Surgery, embolization, or bone cement implantation is an option for the treatment of mandibular AVMs. We present a case of huge mandibular AVM refractory to multiple embolizations of the supplying arteries, which was treated with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement implantation after the extraction of a molar tooth.
下颌动静脉畸形(AVM)是一种罕见且可能危及生命的血管病变。手术、栓塞或骨水泥植入是治疗下颌AVM的选择。我们报告一例巨大下颌AVM,对供应动脉进行多次栓塞均无效,在拔除一颗磨牙后采用聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)骨水泥植入进行治疗。
