Multidisciplinary Approach in Management of Giant Residual Scalp Arterio-Venous Malformation- Way To Go
Published: 2024-09-04

Abstract

Scalp arterio-venous malformations are rare, representing less than 10% of all AVM’s. Management of these AVM’s is difficult as they are high flow vascular lesions, complex anatomy and there is need for cosmetic correction after excision. Incomplete excision can lead to massive bleeding, recurrence, and scalp necrosis. That is the reason management of these lesions need multidisciplinary approach involving neurosurgeon, interventional radiologist, and plastic surgeon. Treatment includes combination of surgical excision, embolization with cosmetic reconstruction.
