Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) is a congenital vascular pathology, which is caused by the presence of a direct connection between the branches of the artery and the veins of the lungs, and the discharge of unoxygenated blood into the arterial bed. Arteriovenous malformations are characterized by a wide variety of clinical manifestations and, in some cases, may be accompanied with severe circulatory disorders.

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare congenital vascular malformations with associated morbidities. We describe a neonatal case of upper limb high-flow AVM presenting with upper limb soft tissue mass and postnatal high-output heart failure. Doppler study suggested high-flow AVM, and later magnetic resonance angiography of the right upper limb confirmed the diagnosis.

Background: Congenital arterial defects such as cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) increase brain bleeding risk. Conservative therapy, microsurgical removal, percutaneous embolization, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), or a combination may treat this serious disease. This study compares angioembolization with SRS to SRS alone in ruptured or unruptured brain ateriovenous malformations (BAVM) patients.

Scalp arteriovenous fistula (sAVF) is a rare disease caused by a congenital defect or exogenous injury, but no standard treatment exists. In this article, we report a rare case of sAVF combined with type C sAVF and cirsoid aneurysm (CA), which was successfully treated by staging microsurgery. Individualized surgical incisions were designed based on the size and range of the sAVF, and then staging microsurgery was performed.

Wyburn-Mason disease (WMD) is a rare congenital phakomatosis known for its complex arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) predominantly affecting the brain and ocular structures. We present the case of a 19-year-old female with an unruptured Spetzler-Martin grade 5 left thalamic AVM, who initially exhibited progressive visual impairment and migraines. Following diagnosis, she was treated with trametinib, a MEK inhibitor; however, nine months later, she developed acute complications, including left monocular blindness and right hemisensory loss.
