AI Article Synopsis

  • Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and trisomy 21 are both uncommon conditions, but there's evidence suggesting people with trisomy 21 can develop vascular issues, particularly in the portal system.* -
  • This case study discussed an adult patient with trisomy 21 who had pelvic iliac AVMs, underwent successful treatment, and showed a positive prognosis.* -
  • The findings highlight the need for improved screening for vascular malformations in trisomy 21 patients and emphasize the effectiveness of interventional treatments for managing AVMs.*

Article Abstract

Both arteriovenous malformation (AVM) and trisomy 21 are rare diseases. Studies have shown that individuals with trisomy 21 may have potential vascular malformations, with the main site of onset being the portal system. This case involved an adult patient with trisomy 21 who presented with pelvic iliac arteriovenous malformations. The patient underwent interventional treatment, and the prognosis was favorable. It is important to enhance the screening for vascular malformations in patients with trisomy 21 syndrome. At the same time, interventional treatment for AVMs is effective and increasingly important for managing AVMs.
