Pulsations as a Signal of Danger: A Case of Scalp Cirsoid Aneurysm.

Cirsoid aneurysms, formerly identified as arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), represent infrequent vascular anomalies primarily localized within the scalp. These anomalies are typified by the absence of interposing capillaries, giving rise to extensively vascularized, expanded conduits connecting arterial feeders and venous outflows. This report details a case of a 13-year-old male afflicted with a cirsoid aneurysm in the scalp, who presented with swelling on the left frontal region, accompanied by headache and pulsatile sensations.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of the combined approach of preoperative endovascular embolization (EE) and surgical excision (SE) for scalp arteriovenous malformation (AVM) and present an illustrative case report.
Methods: A systematic review was conducted using online databases (PubMed/Medline, Cochrane, and Embase) on February 15, 2023. The inclusion criteria were any type of study of patients with scalp AVMs who were diagnosed and confirmed through angiography and treated with combined preoperative EE and SE.

Background: Cirsoid aneurysm of the scalp is a rare arteriovenous fistula having a traumatic, congenital, iatrogenic, or idiopathic etiology. Its presentation can range from a small swelling to a large pulsatile mass with tinnitus, headache, and scalp necrosis.
Observations: A 67-year-old female presented with a gradually increasing swelling on her forehead and head since childhood and no history of trauma.

Scalp arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare lesions that arise due to a pathological fistulous connection between scalp arterial feeders and draining veins without the involvement of capillary beds. Here, we report a case of a 17-year-old male who presented with an enlarging, pulsatile, mass in the scalp of the parietal region with mild headaches and was diagnosed with a scalp AVM that was treated successfully with endovascular trans-arterial embolization. Scalp AVMs are uncommon extracranial vascular abnormalities that neurosurgeons hardly ever see.

Department of Radiology, Apollomedics Super Speciality Hospitals, Lucknow, India.
Background: Scalp arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), or cirsoid aneurysms of the scalp, usually present with troublesome symptoms and cosmetic disfigurement. Endovascular/percutaneous embolization has evolved as a sole treatment method or adjunct to surgical excision in the management of scalp AVMs with an excellent outcome.
Purpose: To discuss minimally invasive techniques for treating scalp AVMs as well as to highlight the role of embolization before surgery.
