title: Arteriovenous malformation of the forehead, anterior scalp, and nasal dorsum.
abstract: Management of complex and relentless large arteriovenous malformations with long term control and acceptable aesthetic results can be accomplished. This outcome requires selective intra-arterial embolization, judicious surgical resection, composite reconstruction with free tissue transfer, other ancillary procedures, or both, and careful serial follow-up examinations to rule out recurrent or persistent disease.
