ABSTRACT

Mandibular arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare and potentially life-threatening vascular lesions. Surgery, embolization, or bone cement implantation is an option for the treatment of mandibular AVMs. We present a case of huge mandibular AVM refractory to multiple embolizations of the supplying arteries, which was treated with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement implantation after the extraction of a molar tooth.

ÖZET

Mandibuler arteriovenöz malformasyonlar (AVM) nadir görülen ve yaşamı tehdit etme potansiyeline sahip lezyonlardır. Cerrahi, embolizasyon ya da kemik çimento uygulanması mandibular AVM’lerin tedavi seçenekleri arasındadır. Bu yazıda, lezyonu besleyen arterlere multipl embolizasyon uygulanmasına dirençli, molar diş çekiminden sonra polimetil metakrilat (PMMA) kemik çimentosu uygulanarak tedavi edilen büyük bir mandibuler AVM olgusunu sunuyoruz.

Keywords: Arteriovenous malformation, mandible, polymethylmethacrylate bone cement
