Arteriovenous malformation of the mandible--a case report.
Both arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and solitary bone cysts of the mandible are uncommon lesions. The latter can be considered fairly innocuous but AVMs require careful management. The following is a description of a case where an arteriovenous malformation of the mandible presented with mental nerve paraesthesia. However, radiographically the features appeared to be consistent with a solitary bone cyst. It is important for clinicians in both a primary and secondary care setting to be aware that this type of lesion can have life threatening complications.
