Diagnostics of a giant arteriovenous malformation of soft facial tissues at CT angiography
The authors present a clinical observation of a 39-year old patient with arteriovenous malformation (AVM), who had previously been operated upon bruised facial wound. AVM of facial and scalp tissues have a tendency to recurrent course and to the formation of severe cosmetic defects. Anatomical variants, pathogenesis and techniques for AVM diagnostics are discussed in this article. A presented clinical case demonstrates potentials and advantages of CT angiography in AVM diagnostics in soft facial tissues and in the scalp.
