Research Abstract
Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are vascular lesions that present as a direct communication between an artery and a vein without capillary connections but with a tangle of intervening vessels, known as the nidus {1, 2}. Extra-cranial AVMs are most commonly found in the head and neck region, more specifically in the scalp, cheek, ear and nose {1, 3}.
