Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are complex vascular lesions most commonly found in the brain and infrequently found in the head and neck. AVMs are characterized by a tangle of blood vessels called a nidus, which shunts blood from an artery directly to a draining vein. Various treatments are available, including surgical resection and endovascular embolization. Here, we report the case of a 32-year-old male patient who complained of painful pulsating left neck swelling with dysphagia for 1 year, which turned out to be an AVM alongside the left thyroid gland. The AVM was treated by embolization using Onyx in 2 sessions. The patient has been free of symptoms since the treatment. |
