Abstract
Combined vascular malformation affecting the facial region is an extremely rare clinical entity that is debilitating both functionally and emotionally. Treatment warrants a multidisciplinary approach with the aim of removing the vascular anomalies and ameliorating any functional facial disfigurement. Here, we present a case of a 40-year-old female with combined vascular malformation of the face who was treated successfully with surgical intervention accompanying significant resolution of facial disfigurement.

Abstract
An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an infrequent congenital vascular anomaly that can affect the vasculature and involve the endothelium and neighboring cells of any anatomical structure. AVMs are characterized histologically by abnormal AV shunts with atypical interconnecting capillary beds. AVM can cause functional and esthetic issues like face asymmetry, pain, osteolytic changes, and unanticipated hemorrhage or squeeze and tear of the surrounding tissue without causing any symptoms. The literature search yielded limited case reports on AVMs in the facial region. Insufficient diagnosis, limited knowledge, and a lack of literature can lead to severe bleeding and potentially fatal hemorrhagic incidents following dental procedures like tooth extraction, surgery, puncture wounds, or blunt injuries in the affected area. In this manuscript, we report a case of AV malformation involving the left cheek and buccal mucosa region in a 37-year-old male patient who reported uncontrolled bleeding after trauma. This report highlights the management of AV malformation in an emergency by facial artery ligation and surgical excision.

Abstract
Maxillofacial arteriovenous malformation located in the sensitive parts of the nose and lips has been an arduous challenge for doctors to meet a balance between resection and aesthetics in one time. In this report, one patient with a giant arteriovenous malformation covering the forehead, the nose, the lip, and bilateral cheeks and resulting in the appearance of the face like a lion's face, can not meet satisfactory outcomes by other therapeutic methods. We successfully reduced the size of vascular lesion using low-power and short-duration microwave ablation under real-time ultrasound guidance. In the two-year follow-up, the patient's face almost recovered to normality. Microwave ablation is expected to be a new alternative therapy for the treatment of maxillofacial arteriovenous malformations. Laryngoscope, 133:2984-2987, 2023.

Abstract
Hamartomas are tumor-like abnormalities typified by the presence of cellular proliferation indigenous to the native site. However, hamartomas maintain growth cessation without the potential for further growth or malignant transformation. Hamartomas are commonly seen in the lungs, kidney, liver, and spleen and rarely occur in the orofacial region. Various hamartomatous oral lesions include hemangiomas, lymphangiomas, tori, exostosis, dens invaginatus, dens evaginatus, odontomas, nevi, and cherubism. Infantile hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that emerge soon after birth and experience rapid growth within the first year. Oral hemangiomas affect up to 6.4% of infants and are more common on the ventral surface of the tongue, as opposed to oral vascular malformations, which are more prevalent on the lips. It also has a 3:1 female-to-male predominance. Afterward, their growth usually stabilizes and enters a prolonged, incomplete involution phase. Uncomplicated hemangiomas generally exhibit spontaneous resolution, whereas few can leave behind scars and telangiectasias on the external surface of the skin on which it occurs. Thus, lesions located in anatomically sensitive regions necessitate vigilant surveillance and treatment. This paper deals with an asymptomatic swelling of the upper lip in a four-year-old female child but with problems in aesthetics, speech, and feeding. A thorough history, clinical examination, positive diascopy, ultrasonography, and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of infantile hemangioma.

Abstract
Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare congenital defects of vascular development whose treatment remains challenging. The paper presents a retrospective single-center study of 14 patients with AVMs of the head and neck region undergoing combined endovascular and surgical treatment in a single day. AVM architecture and therapeutic strategies were determined on the basis of angiographic studies, while the psychological involvement of each patient was assessed by means of a questionnaire. Most of the 14 patients achieved satisfactory clinical results with no recurrences, good aesthetic and functional results, and most patients reported improved quality of life. The combined endovascular and surgical approach is an effective treatment for AVMs of the head and neck and performing it on the same day is a possible option often accepted by patients which guarantees operative advantages for the surgeon.

Abstract
Mandibular arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare lesions which can present with life-threatening haemorrhage. Endovascular embolisation can be life saving for these patients. We discuss a patient of mandibular AVM, who initially presented with reports of massive oral bleeding. The lesion was only partially embolised via transarterial route, as the nidus could not be penetrated completely. In view of rebleeding within 72 hours from the same site, a second embolisation procedure was done via combined, transarterial and transvenous approaches. Coils and onyx were used as embolising agents. Complete embolisation was achieved via combined approach. No further bleeding episodes were seen at 1-year follow-up. Endovascular embolisation of mandibular AVMs can be technically challenging and, hence, a sound knowledge of the anatomy as well as the possible modification of technique is essential to achieve complete obliteration of the lesion and to maximise the benefit of embolisation and to avoid major radical surgery.

Abstract
Head and neck arteriovenous malformations are rare, congenital, and high-flow vascular malformations characterized by abnormal communication between feeding arteries and draining veins without intervening capillaries. Arteriovenous malformations are considered the most dangerous type of vascular malformation because progressive symptoms and infiltration can result in potentially life-threatening consequences. Left untreated, arteriovenous malformations can cause significant cosmetic deformities, severe bleeding, and high-output cardiac failure associated with arteriovenous shunting. The effective treatment of arteriovenous malformations located in the head and neck region is quite challenging due to high rates of recurrence and potentially lethal complications. We describe a case presenting with large arteriovenous malformations in the face and neck. Despite attempting several treatments, including external carotid artery ligation and embolization with liquid embolic agents, the patient continued to experience recurrence and symptoms of bleeding and pain. After admission, reconstructive plastic surgery was performed, supplemented by percutaneous direct puncture embolization, using glue injected into the venous and transarterial embolization. The patient was discharged with clinical recovery. Digital subtraction angiography remains the gold standard for assessing symptomatic and aggressive arteriovenous malformations, both before and after treatment. The treatment of head and neck arteriovenous malformations often requires a multidisciplinary approach to achieve the best clinical results.

Abstract
Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are high-flow vascular lesions that does not regress spontaneously. They are located in the cranio-facial region in 50% of cases. Most of the time, the management of these lesions is a combination of surgery and vascular embolization. However, when the conditions are precarious, even without access to embolization, it's possible to treat some of those lesions with safety. We report four cases of patients suffering from cranio-facial AVM, treated exclusively by surgery during humanitarian missions.

Abstract
Background The aim of the present study is to evaluate the short-term efficacy and feasibility of radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of complex diffuse arteriovenous (AV) malformations. Methods The data of 18 patients (8 male and 10 female) with complex AV malformations treated between December 2014 and June 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. The lesion area was 10 × 7 cm ~ 28 × 30 cm. Under duplex ultrasound guidance, the site with the most abundant blood flow signals in the lesion was percutaneously punctured with the radiofrequency ablation needle (electrode). The impedance automatic adjustment mode was adopted, and ablation was monitored usingduplex ultrasoundduring the entire process. Results Of the included patients, 1 had a high fever after two rounds of treatment, 2 had transient hemoglobinuria, and 1 had tissue necrosis in the original ruptured tumor area as well as a penetrating defect in the cheek, which was repaired with a pedicled trapezius myocutaneous flap. In 9 patients who experienced bleeding, the bleeding stopped after one round of treatment. During the follow-up period of 1–5 years, there were 0 grade I (poor) cases, 0 grade II (medium) cases, 7 grade III (good) cases, and 11 grade IV (excellent) cases. Conclusion The “high power and continuous” radiofrequency ablation technique conducted under real-time duplex ultrasoundmonitoring can completely destroy the deep core lesions of AV malformations and effectively control life-threatening massive hemorrhage; it is an effective alternative treatment method for complex diffuse AV malformations in which interventional embolization, sclerotherapy, and surgery are ineffective.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to review the outcomes of the different therapies for extracranial head and neck arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). AVMs are high-flow congenital vascular anomalies. They are composed of a complex system of vessels directly connecting feeding arteries to draining veins forming a nidus. They may be potentially life-threatening due to progressive symptoms and infiltrative disease. Extracranial AVMs most commonly affect the head and neck area (47.4%) followed by the extremities (28.5%). AVMs are best characterized as being either focal or diffuse. Focal AVMs have good outcomes following adequate treatment. Diffuse lesions have multiple feeding vessel, which results in high rates of recurrence despite treatment. The management of AVMs includes conventional surgery and endovascular techniques. A combination of embolization and surgical resection has become the treatment of choice over the last years. The main goal of both forms of treatment being the complete blockage or resection of the nidus. Transcatheter embolization of vessels has evolved over the years and new embolic agents have emerged. The types of materials available for embolization are classified into mechanical devices, liquid agents and particulates. Efficacy, rate of recurrence and most common complications were evaluated. AVMs recurrence after embolization or resection is reported in up to 80% of cases. Incomplete resection and embolization can induce aggressive growth of the remaining nidus and the risk of progression is up to 50% within the first 5 years and recurrences can occur up to 10 years later. Although ethanol seems to be associated with the highest degree of cure and permanent occlusion, the overall complication rate reported was 48%. Other materials, such as cyanoacrylate, have obtained modest rates of complete remission, while the reported rates of complete regression of AVMs with Fibrin glue and Polyvinyl alcohol are above 50%. At present, there are no unified agreement on the ideal embolic agent. Therefore, a multidisciplinary approach is recommended to support decision making about the best therapeutic approach and to achieve optimal outcome. A long-term post-treatment follow-up is recommended to recognize early recurrence.

Abstract
Mandibular arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a rare lesion, but it often can be presented with life-threatening bleedings. Endovascular treatment of mandibular AVMs has multiple approaches including transarterial embolization, transvenous embolization, direct puncture, and sclerotherapy. In this case study, we present a patient with mandibular AVM complicated by hemorrhage. The patient was treated with transarterial embolization, followed by transvenous sclerotherapy with balloon occlusion of venous outflow. But radical occlusion of AVM was achieved only by transvenous embolization of AVM with Onyx via double lumen balloon, which occluded the venous outflow.

Abstract
The modern application of interventional radiology techniques is revolutionizing the treatment of the vascular malformations of the head and neck. In fact, the morbidity related with the surgical extirpation of the malformation might be drastically reduced with the use of an endovascular approach. The present report describes the case of a 11 years old male affected by a large intraosseous arteriovenous malformation of the mandible. The coil embolization of the main drainage vein caused the spontaneous regression of the lesion and avoided a mutilating surgery and severe psychological sequels. A multidisciplinary approach of these case is mandatory. A careful clinical and radiological study of the patient is essential for a proper management. The choice of the treatment should be based on the location and extension of the malformation, age of the patient, experience with endovascular techniques and clinic. Key words:Endovacualr approach, intraosseous arteriovenous malformation, head and neck, child.
