Background and objective One of the treatment options for arteriovenous malformations consists of embolization, with a choice of various embolic agents, with or without subsequent surgical excision. If embolization is offered without subsequent surgery, the embolic material will stay in situ, in which case the consistency and color become important in superficial lesions. The purpose of this case report is to describe if the use of a novel liquid embolic agent (PHIL) is well suited for treatment of superficial AVMs without subsequent surgery. Case description A 30-year-old male presented with a painful reddish, pulsatile swelling of the left ear that had been present for more than 10 years. Angiography confirmed an arteriovenous malformation supplied by the superficial temporal artery and the posterior auricular artery. The lesion was successfully treated by embolization with PHIL, through the superficial temporal artery. A minute residual shunt, from the posterior auricular artery, was accepted. Immediate disappearance of pulsatile tinnitus was reported. Moreover, return of normal skin color was observed without discomfort from the embolic deposits. This result has been stable throughout one year of clinical follow-up. Conclusion To our knowledge, this is the first case report describing PHIL embolization as a treatment option for superficial arteriovenous malformations without the necessity for subsequent surgery. The white color and rubbery consistency are beneficial characteristics of PHIL in treatment of subcutaneous lesions, especially in cosmetically relevant locations.

Diagnostic Difficulties

Arteriovenous malformations (AVM) of the head and neck are rare. They usually occur intracranially and derive their vascular supply from the intracranial vessels. In the English literature there has not been any documented case of AVMs in and around the external auditory meatus (EAM). The authors present the first case, a spontaneous AVM deriving its vascular supply from the posterior auricular artery. The diagnostic difficulties and management strategies of spontaneous AVMs are discussed.

First Case

Abstract OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE: Arteriovenous malformations in the cranial nerves are very rare, and only one case has been reported in the literature. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of an arteriovenous malformation in the auditory nerve. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 30-year-old woman presented with a subarachnoid hemorrhage resulting from rupture of an arteriovenous malformation in the auditory nerve. INTERVENTION: During the operation, the auditory nerve bundle was found to be severely damaged and a nidus was identified inside the bundle. CONCLUSION: Although arteriovenous malformations are thought to arise in the 4th to 8th weeks of gestation, this case might indicate a more specific time of emergence based on embryogenesis of the cranial nerves.

The Right

Aneurysms of the distal branches of the external carotid artery are rare and usually traumatic in origin. We present two cases which were treated in our clinic. The first case is about a traumatic aneurysm of the left superficial temporal artery (STA) in a young boy 8 years old. The young patient developed a pulsatile mass above his left eyebrow ten days after a bite by a boy of the same age. The second case is referred in a 36-year old woman with a pulsatile mass behind the right ear, which was an aneurysm of the posterior auricular artery. The treatment was ligation and resection under local anesthesia in the first case and under general anesthesia in the latter. Surgeons’ familiarity with this entity is important for diagnosis and treatment.

Background Arteriovenous malformations are potentially serious vascular anomalies that are rarely encountered in the eyelid and require a multidisciplinary approach. Objectives We would like to describe the technical and clinical aspects related to the treatment of palpebral arteriovenous malformation with selective embolization, followed by surgical resection. Methods A 40-year-old patient presented with an isolated high-flow palpebral arteriovenous malformation. Transarterial embolization, using a liquid embolic agent (PHIL™), was performed in this patient. Results Angiographic and clinical follow-up revealed good results with clinical regression of the mass. Conclusion Although endovascular treatment of palpebral arteriovenous malformations is technically challenging, good functional and cosmetic result was achieved. Arteriovenous malformation embolization using PHIL™ seems to be very effective and makes subsequent surgical procedure safe and feasible. Level IV Evidence obtained from multiple time series with or without the intervention, such as case studies. Dramatic results in uncontrolled trials might also be regarded as this type of evidence.

Technique Failure

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are unnatural connections in the vascular system. The treatment strategies are dictated by the angioarchitecture, location and presentation of AVMs. The present study sought to report a case report of a 35-year-old female patient diagnosed with a brain AVM and submitted to a transvenous AVM embolization, located at the corpus callosum's splenium, after a previous transarterial embolization failure. As a therapeutic approach, the patient was submitted to transarterial embolization. However, the procedure was performed too proximally in the arteries, which resulted in the total AVM persistency. The patient was submitted to angiographic control until complete AVM occlusion.

First Case

AbstractCongenital arteriovenous malformations are rare causes of congestive cardiac failure in neonates. The most common sites are in the head and liver, but other sites include the thorax, the abdomen and the limbs. The onset of failure is usually not in the immediate neonatal period, but later on in life, albeit that lesions such as the arteriovenous malformation of the vein of Galen, and other arteriovenous malformations in different locations which produce high flow can present early. We describe here the first case, to the best of our knowledge, of prenatal detection of an intrathoracic arteriovenous malformation producing neonatal cardiac failure, which was successfully treated by surgery postnatally.

✓ Angiography during the operative procedure is desirable, but is often difficult because of the problem of maintaining a needle or cannula in an artery for long periods of time. Cannulation of the superficial temporal artery avoids this technical problem. The artery is easily found, cannulation is simple, and obliteration of the artery is of no consequence. Cerebral angiography then provides a means for prompt evaluation of the surgical procedure at any time during the actual operation.
