[Arteriovenous malformations in the region of the external carotid artery].
This article reports two cases of extracranial angiomatous vascular malformation, with blood being conveyed thereto by the external carotid artery. Visible and palpable clusters of dilated and pulsating vessels in the scalp or jugular region as well as vascular murmur are of major importance for clinical diagnosis. Conditions of flow may be objectified with the use of angiography. Therefore, the radiography of vessels should always be used to reliably determine the absence of combined extra- and intracranial vascular malformations.
