Surgical treatment of a rare sublingual intramuscular arteriovenous malformation.
We describe an aggressive median mandibulotomy approach for a sublingual arteriovenous malformation. Sublingual region is very rare location for arteriovenous malformation and requires special attention. The median mandibulotomy approach provides us with a wide surgical field for the resection of sublingual lesions. The procedure is easy and safe and, after dysfunction, is minimal. Preoperative transarterial embolization is recommended to reduce intraoperative blood loss.
