Abstract

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the head and neck are rare vascular malformations but can cause tremendous cosmetic, functional, and psychological problems. Complete surgical resection with or without preoperative intra-arterial embolisation is necessary to prevent recurrence. We assessed the outcome after treatment of head and neck arteriovenous malformations in Plastic and maxillofacial surgery department, Viet Duc university hospital between January 2008 and December 2020. This study includes of 93 patients, the mean age is 28,7. 88 patients were treated by embolization and resection; 5 patients were treated by resection alone. The excellent outcome is 62,7%, good 29,8%, fair 7,5% (meantime 57,6 months). Local, small-size, early-stage AVMs and totally resection of AVMs offer the best chance for longterm outcome.
