AI Article Synopsis
- - Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in facial bones, while rare, can lead to serious issues like aesthetic concerns, pain, and significant complications such as life-threatening bleeding.
- - A case study showcased a surgical approach involving preoperative embolization and sclerotherapy followed by the use of specialized devices (Sonopet® and Aquamantys™) to successfully resect AVMs from the maxilla while preserving important structures.
- - The report emphasizes the importance of careful planning and surgical techniques to manage bleeding and ensure effective removal of deformed bone, presenting a promising method for maintaining facial integrity during treatment.
Article Abstract
Introduction: Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of facial bones are rare conditions. These lesions can cause aesthetic challenges, pain, impact on gums and teeth, facial asymmetry, and life-threatening bleeding.
Presentation Of The Case: This report described a case involving the resection of AVMs within the maxilla following preoperative embolization and sclerotherapy by using an ultrasonic bone aspirator (Sonopet®, Stryker, Kalamazoo, MI, USA) and a radiofrequency bipolar sealer (Aquamantys™, Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA). The AVMs and deformed bone were resected en bloc through repeated cutting and hemostasis, preserving the maxillary crown and maintaining the maxillary structure by treating only the affected bone.
Discussion: Reducing inflow during surgery and controlling intraoperative bleeding requires thorough planning. Preoperative embolization and sclerotherapy can reduce inflow to the tumor, and appropriate surgical devices enable the resection of arteriovenous malformations within the maxilla.
Conclusion: The method presented in this report is a viable treatment option because it allows for selective bone removal, thus leading to the preservation of crowns and maxillary contour.

Vascular malformations (VMs) are a heterogeneous group of arterial, venous, capillary, and/or lymphatic networks that typically are present at birth and grow with the patient. Signs and symptoms associated with VM range from absent to severe, with a broad spectrum of pain, cosmetic disfigurement, and local tissue destruction. Treatment options for these malformations extend from observation to surgical reconstruction.

Venous malformations (VMs) represent the most common type of congenital vascular anomalies, characterized by slow-flow lesions arising from disorganized angiogenesis. These malformations can vary widely in size, location, and clinical impact, presenting significant challenges in diagnosis and management. A multidisciplinary approach is essential for optimizing care, with goals centered on symptom relief and functional preservation.

Recent advancements in endovascular techniques have transformed the management of vascular malformations, shifting away from traditional surgical resections to less invasive methods like embolization and sclerotherapy. Vascular malformations are congenital anomalies resulting from embryonic angiogenesis failures, often misdiagnosed but manageable through a multidisciplinary approach. These malformations range from high-flow arteriovenous connections to low-flow venous, lymphatic, or mixed lesions, each requiring specific diagnostic and treatment strategies.
