Background

Vascular anomalies, commonly known as birthmarks, are a diverse group of congenital blood vessel disorders. These anomalies are categorized into vascular tumors and malformations, each distinguished by unique morphology, pathophysiology, clinical behaviour and management strategies. Hemangiomas are the most prevalent vascular tumors. Vascular malformations include lymphatic, capillary, venous and arteriovenous malformations (AVM).

Case Presentation

This report presents a case of a 14-year-old male diagnosed with an arteriovenous malformation in the mid-palatal region using clinical manifestation and CT angiography. Prior to the surgical excision of the sessile growth in the mid-palatal region, left external carotid artery (ECA) was clamped without prior embolization.

Conclusion

In the head and neck region, arteriovenous malformations are rare but persistent, progressive and represent a benign condition that is sometime aggressive that warrant treatment. This article highlights the importance of clamping ECA to get better control of bleeding and to avoid complications associated with embolization while successfully treating the lesion surgically.
