ABSTRACT
Vascular malformations in the extremities are a common site of occurrence; arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are the least frequent of all vascular malformations, estimated at 5% to 20%. The first step in management is to perform a thorough clinical examination. Symptoms are assessed, and staging is performed using the Schobinger classification. Next, ultrasonography and contrast-enhanced computed tomography are used to confirm the diagnosis of AVM and to confirm the extent of the malformation. Surgery is the first-line treatment and reconstruction is performed. In cases where surgery is not feasible, embolization and sclerotherapy may be used to alleviate symptoms.
