Introduction And Importance: AVMs are rarest congenital anomalies constituting around 1% of pediatric population. Arteriovenous malformations originate at 4th to 10th weeks of intra uterine life due to persistence of primitive arteriovenous shunts. Though the exact prevalence is unknown, upper limb constitute around 10 % of all AVMs. Hand being the most common region affected after head and neck.
Case Presentation: Author is presenting here a rare case of palmar arteriovenous malformation in child since birth, hindering her routine daily activities, and its unique way of surgical management.
Clinical Discussion: Hand arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are challenging to treat due the necessity to maintain function and aesthetic appearance.
Conclusion: The risk of fatal bleeding makes resection of AVMs a challenging and stressful procedure, but however in the presence of available efficient equipments to control the bleeding and expertise of the available treating surgeons, primary surgical resection can be considered a feasible option in a tertiary care pediatric center.

Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome, or hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), is a rare vascular disorder characterized by arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in various organs, including the lungs. Pulmonary AVMs (PAVMs) are especially worrisome due to their potential to form right-to-left shunts, resulting in life-threatening complications such as paradoxical embolism and stroke . We present a case of fatal air embolism in a young patient with a known history of HHT and recurring hemoptysis.

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.

Vascular malformations (VMs) are dysplastic abnormalities of vascular channels, differing from vascular tumors by their slow growth. Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) arise between weeks 4-10 of intrauterine life, with a prevalence of 1 in 100,000 among Caucasians. Common in the head, neck, and hands, AVMs may be asymptomatic or cause symptoms like pain, deformity, and disability.

To evaluate the incidence of mortality, hemorrhage, and neurological deficits in treating intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in patients over 18 through a comparative analysis of surgical approaches and other therapeutic modalities. A systematic review was conducted using MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, and LILACS databases in November 2023. Inclusion criteria included clinical trials, cohorts studies, case-controls studies, and case series comparing patients over 18 undergoing surgery or microsurgery versus other treatments (radiosurgery, isolated embolization, and conservative treatment).

Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVFs) are the most common type of spinal vascular malformations. Multiple SDAVFs are unusual and can occur either synchronously or metachronously, as reported in the literature. We report on the unusual case of a woman with three separate SDAVFs, which were surgically treated within the same setting; the postoperative course was characterised by unexplained repeated haematoma formation within the surgical sites.
