Management of complex and relentless large arteriovenous malformations with long term control and acceptable aesthetic results can be accomplished. This outcome requires selective intra-arterial embolization, judicious surgical resection, composite reconstruction with free tissue transfer, other ancillary procedures, or both, and careful serial follow-up examinations to rule out recurrent or persistent disease.

Superficial arteriovenous malformations are rare fast-flow lesions. They consist of arteriovenous shunts, without cellular hyperplasia or proliferation, which develop in the surrounding tissues (cutaneous, subcutaneous, muscular, bone). Although benign, they are among the most severe of superficial malformations.

Recently, the pathological findings and classification of spinal AV shunt disease have been well described. The fundamental treatment of spinal AV shunt disease involves interruption of the shunt, which is achieved by endovascular treatment or direct surgery.

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) are characterized by abnormal pulmonary vessels forming arteriovenous shunts that compromise oxygenation of the blood, causing hypoxemia, and predispose to infections and cerebral ischemia. The patient in this case was a 38-year-old male who presented with tachypnea and dyspnea, cyanosis of extremities, and significant digital clubbing. The patient had structural epilepsy secondary to neurosurgery for a cerebral abscess during childhood.
