Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthroscopy is considered a safe, minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of certain TMJ derangements. However, as TMJ arthroscopy is being popularized, more complications are being reported. Though exceedingly rare, arteriovenous fistula (AVF) can occur. We describe a case of superficial temporal artery (STA) fistula formation successfully treated with coil embolization.

Abstract BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE Moyamoya disease is a rare cerebrovascular disorder often treated by direct and indirect revascularization bypass techniques as a result of a typically devastating disease course and poor response to medical therapy. In this report, we describe the formation and subsequent management of a de novo arteriovenous fistula identified in the setting of a patient treated with direct bypass surgery, a previously unreported phenomenon. CLINICAL PRESENTATION A 51-year-old woman presenting with Suzuki stage IV bilateral moyamoya disease underwent bilateral extracranial-to-intracranial superficial temporal artery--to--middle cerebral artery bypass without complication at our institution. At the 6-month follow-up, she demonstrated no evidence of residual neurological deficits or continued symptoms despite documentation of an arteriovenous fistula arising at the site of the right extracranial-to-intracranial bypass on routine follow-up cerebral angiography. CONCLUSION We present the first reported case of de novo arteriovenous fistula formation after superficial temporal artery-to-middle cerebral artery bypass for the treatment of moyamoya disease. Treatment of such iatrogenic arteriovenous fistulae fed by a patent bypass vessel may prove challenging without associated compromise of the bypass, meriting careful evaluation of all potential therapeutic options. The fistula described herein most likely occurred secondary to recanalization of a previously thrombosed vein of Trolard. This case demonstrates the possibility of arteriovenous fistula formation as a potential sequela of revascularization bypass surgery and lends support to the previously described traumatic origin of fistula formation.

Renal angiomyolipomas (AML) are benign lesions usually left alone. However, lesions larger than 4 cm carry the risk of spontaneous haemorrhage and need treatment. Angiography and embolisation are the current standard of care particularly in patients with high operative risks. Angio-embolisation is a safe, minimally invasive procedure preserving maximum renal parenchyma, with the added advantage of preventing peri-procedural morbidity. Two cases of AML are presented in this case series. Key words: Angiomyolipoma, embolisation, renal
