Abstract
Vascular anomalies often affect the soft tissues though primary intraosseous lesions and are uncommon. Arteriovenous malformations (AVM) of the mandibule are a rare lesion, which are probably hamartomas. We report a case of 8-year-old girl who presented with exanguinating hemorrhage after the extraction of the mobile right mandibullary second molar. The diagnosis of mandibular AVM was made by CT scan and confirmed by angiography. CT scan showed osteolytic picture at the right mandibular ramus blowing discreetly bone opposite the second molar. An AVM containing a large aneurysm was demonstrated by CT angiography. The mandibular AVM was successfully treated by endovascular therapy complicated by cerebral embolus migration with a left hemiplegia.
