[Management of a perineal arteriovenous malformation in a 5-year-old child].
Arteriovenous malformations are seldom in children but raise important therapeutic problems. Apart from intracranial arteriovenous malformations, few observations have been described in the literature. We report the case of a superficial perineal arteriovenous malformation in a 5-year-old child. Tailored embolization followed shortly by thorough surgery is the best attitude. Surgery must totally eradicate the lesion to allow hope for a cure. Surgery should be reserved for forms that are extensive or a source of complications. Even total resection does not ensure non-recurrence.
