Arteriovenous malformations of the mandible. Graduated surgical management.
Two cases of arteriovenous malformation in the mandible are described, in which muscle embolization was used. The success in one patient and the failure in the second correlate with the caliber of the vessels in the two malformations. A scheme of graduated surgical management for mandibular arteriovenous malformations is proposed.
