Resumen
IWANYK, Paulina; TRAINE, Ernesto; IACOUZZI, Sebastián y RODRIGUEZ LOFREDO, Anselmo. Malformación arteriovenosa de localización craneofacial. Arch. argent. pediatr. [online]. 2007, vol.105, n.1, pp.32-34. ISSN 0325-0075.
Vascular malformations are defects of the vascular system during embryologic development. At birth they can appear as port-wine stains that can sometimes increase in size during puberty and as a consequence of trauma. The complete resection of arteriovenous malformations (high flow malformations) in head and neck is very difficult due to bleeding and danger of damaging vital organs. In November 2003 we performed a complete resection of a forehead A.V.M with extension to the orbit in a 17 year-old teenager male. First, we identified and took control of the main vessels feeding the tumor, and then we performed a continuous suture with absorbable material around the tumor including soft tissues and periostium.
