摘要

Facial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare congenital disorders of angiogenesis that are known to cause hemorrhage. We present a case of uncontrolled bleeding from a known facial AVM during tooth extraction. The patient was transferred to a tertiary hospital where the patient underwent emergency endovascular embolization of the AVM. While facial AVMs are rare, their presence should be carefully considered when planning any oral-maxillofacial procedure. Multidisciplinary care should be considered when treating patients with facial AVMs.
