ABSTRACT
Vascular anomalies broadly include vascular tumours and malformations. Arteriovenous malformations (AVM), though rare in the oral and maxillofacial regions, can present with swelling, facial asymmetry, ulceration, and bleeding tendencies, which can be life-threatening. Thus, to minimise the associated life-threatening consequences, prompt and appropriate diagnosis of the lesion is necessitated. The management of the AVM is a therapeutic challenge for maxillofacial surgeons; however, technological advances in interventional radiology have gained a foothold. Super-selective embolisation of the feeder vessels with subsequent resection of the lesion is the most widely accepted approach for management. The present report describes a unique case of a facial AVM managed through a trans-oral approach without any post-operative sequelae.
