Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) of the mandible is a potentially life‐threatening condition that requires rapid diagnosis and intervention to prevent mortality or permanent morbidity [1]. While transarterial embolization using liquid embolic material currently serves as the mainstay of treatment, these lesions often feature complex internal anatom...

... 19-year-old male, who had been experiencing right-sided jaw pain and episodes of persistent bleeding after wisdom tooth extraction, presented to our department for evaluation after a CTA Neck illustrated findings consistent with facial and mandibular AVM with a prominent right facial artery aneurysm. Gadolinium-enhanced MRI and MRA of the Neck were subsequently performed, as depicted in Figure 5. Following initial stabilization and image review, the patient was moved to the IR suite for pre-operative angiographic evaluation, with initial imaging and 3D reconstruction images illustrated in Figure 6. ...

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) consist of aberrant circulation between pulmonary arteries and veins causing right-to-left shunt, uncommon and asymptomatic in the general population. We presented two patients, one presented with unexplained dyspnea and disease limited to the lung and the other with neurologic signs and systematic dise...
Alice in Wonderland Syndrome (AIWS) is characterized by unusual perceptual disturbances similar to those experienced by Alice in Lewis Carroll's novel Alice's Adventure in Wonderland. These disturbances may be caused by a range of organic, toxic, and psychiatric etiologies. Appropriately treating the underlying condition may reduce and altogether e...
Background and Objective: The goal of this study was to analyze the association of brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) location and its outcome after microsurgical excision. The relation of outcome using modified Ranklin Scale (mRS) at time of discharge, early and last follow ups with respect to location of AVM. Methods: Demographic data, AVM...
Background
Brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) consist of abnormal connections between arteries and veins via an interposing nidus. While hemorrhage is the most common presentation, unruptured AVMs can present with headaches, seizures, neurological deficits, or be found incidentally. It remains unclear as to what AVM characteristics contribute...
