title: Arteriovenous malformation of the mandible--report of a case.
abstract: An eight-year-old girl was referred for the management of recurrent bleeding from the lower, left gingival region and a diffused swelling on the left side of her face. Doppler study and carotid angiogram were suggestive of an arteriovenous malformation. Segmental mandibular resection was performed after ligation of the left external carotid artery. Post-operative period was uneventful and there has been no recurrence of the lesion till date.
