A mandibular arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is rare, and unawareness of this condition can lead to catastrophic complications. Embolization is an effective means to treat these lesions. The osseous changes and long-term outcomes among the pediatric patients after embolization treatment remain unclear. We present a 6-year-old patient with mandibular arteriovenous malformation who had sustained hemorrhagic shock after a tooth extraction. She was referred to us after stabilization of the hemodynamic condition. The patient received transarterial and direct intralesional embolization. Local infection occurred 3 months after embolization, but was well controlled. Serial computed tomography and panoramic radiographs were performed during follow-up examinations. The imaging studies showed gradual obliteration of the vascular space followed by normal bone regeneration and remodeling. The processes were complete during a period of 2 years. There was no recurrence of the vascular malformation and no abnormal growth of the right side of the mandible after 4 years and 4 months of observation.

D001165 Arteriovenous Malformations Abnormal formation of blood vessels that shunt arterial blood directly into veins without passing through the CAPILLARIES. They usually are crooked, dilated, and with thick vessel walls. A common type is the congenital arteriovenous fistula. The lack of blood flow and oxygen in the capillaries can lead to tissue damage in the affected areas. Arteriovenous Malformation,Malformation, Arteriovenous,Malformations, Arteriovenous
