Abstract

Arteriovenous malformations of the face and scalp are uncommon. We report a patient with facial AVM feeding from external carotid artery. This 26-year old man presented with an arteriovenous malformation involving left forehead. The patient first noted a coin-sized lesion on the site 20 years previously after blunt trauma which progressively enlarged. Surgical resection of AVM was performed after ligation of feeding artery.
