Abstract
An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) may be defined as a condition in which arteries communicate with veins through channels other than the normal capillary network. This includes angiomatous malformations, arteriovenous aneurysms, arteriovenous shunts, hemangiomas (cavernous, capillary, sclerosing, and cirsoid), and arteriovenous fistulas. Large arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) of the jaws are rare and potentially life-threatening vascular lesions (Shultz et al., 1988). The most common clinical presentation is expansion of the buccal cortex, gingival bleeding from around the necks of mobile teeth or severe haemorrhage after dental extraction, gingival biopsy, or eruption of a tooth. AVMs can be subdivided based on the rate of blood flow: “slow flow” (capillary, venous, lymphatic or mixed) and “fast flow” (arterial, arteriovenous, fistulae or shunt) subtypes.
