Spontaneous regression of a mandibular arteriovenous malformation

Mandibular arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare lesions that may initially present as catastrophic bleeding during dental surgical procedures. Owing to the significant risk of bleeding, most mandibular AVMs are treated definitively by resection or embolization. In this report, we describe a m...

Description
Summary:Mandibular arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare lesions that may initially present as catastrophic bleeding during dental surgical procedures. Owing to the significant risk of bleeding, most mandibular AVMs are treated definitively by resection or embolization. In this report, we describe a mandibular AVM that spontaneously regressed after biopsy.
