Abstract
Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are a type of high-flow vascular malformation that are characterized by abnormal capillary communications between the arterial and venous systems. While they are most commonly located in the head and neck region, their appearance in the nose is considerably rare, resulting in a paucity of literature regarding the surgical management of these lesions. We present the case of a 13-year-old male with a 6.5 × 6 cm AVM of the nose with a history of frequent nosebleeds since early childhood, often requiring aggressive measures, such as silver nitrate cauterization for control. Use of nasal decongestants and aminocaproic acid provided only transient improvement. After determination of arterial supply, AVM was approached with a combination of preoperative selective embolization and surgical excision with subsequent forehead flap defect coverage. Due to the size and complexity of this AVM, extra precautions were taken to avoid severe intraoperative bleeding, and femoral sheaths were placed prior to excision. The patient tolerated the procedure well, and with subsequent debulking surgery and Laser Hair Removal achieved an acceptable cosmetic outcome.
