[Arteriovenous malformation of the mandible. Apropos of a case in a 6-year-old child].
Arteriovenous malformations of the mandible are uncommon. Though characteristic clinical and radiological presentations are well described, management in the case of children is still a matter of debate. We report a mandibular angioma in a 6-year-old girl which was treated with superselective embolization. This method is the treatment of choice for mandibular arteriovenous malformations in children because of the low complication rate and the preservation of healthy tissue. When the malformation continues to develop despite repeated embolizations, surgical treatment may be necessary.
