Traumatic scalp arteriovenous fistula is a rare vascular abnormality. Open surgical removal and embolization have been employed to address this condition.
In this report, we present a case involving a 41-year-old man who exhibited a progressively enlarging pulsatile mass in his right occipital scalp. Computerized tomography angiography (CTA) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) identified a complex scalp arteriovenous fistula (S-AVF). The combination of clinical symptoms and neuroimaging findings facilitated the diagnosis.
Following a thorough discussion, we implemented a comprehensive strategy that included both endovascular embolization and surgical resection. The patient demonstrated an excellent prognosis with no reported discomfort.
A comprehensive surgical approach should be considered in the management of patients with complex scalp arteriovenous fistula.
创伤性头皮动静脉瘘是一种罕见的血管异常。开放性手术切除和栓塞术已被用于治疗这种疾病。
在本报告中,我们介绍了一例病例,患者为一名41岁男性,其右枕部头皮出现一个逐渐增大的搏动性肿块。计算机断层血管造影(CTA)和数字减影血管造影(DSA)确定为复杂性头皮动静脉瘘(S-AVF)。临床症状和神经影像学检查结果相结合有助于诊断。
经过充分讨论,我们实施了一种综合策略,包括血管内栓塞和手术切除。患者预后良好,未报告有不适。
对于复杂性头皮动静脉瘘患者的治疗,应考虑采用综合手术方法。
