Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) define rare aberrations in vascular morphogenesis. AVMs are typically present at birth, and unless they are stimulated to grow quickly by trauma, illness, or hormonal effects, they enlarge in proportion to an individual's growth. Clinical manifestations of AVMs are often linked to abnormal mass effects and blood perfusion. In this report, we describe a unique case of AVM of the left ear in a 24-year-old male, employing cinematic rendering along with a review of differential diagnosis and treatment options.
动静脉畸形(AVM)是血管形态发生中罕见的异常情况。AVM通常在出生时就存在,除非受到创伤、疾病或激素影响而被刺激快速生长,否则它们会随着个体的生长而按比例增大。AVM的临床表现通常与异常的占位效应和血液灌注有关。在本报告中,我们描述了一名24岁男性左耳AVM的独特病例,采用了电影渲染技术,并回顾了鉴别诊断和治疗方案。
