Arteriovenous malformation of the mandible: successful management by buccal window approach.
Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the mandible is relatively rare, and is often treated by resection of the mandible. We describe embolisation followed by removal of the buccal cortical plate, which was later replaced. This way the original mandibular architecture was preserved while the morbidity associated with resection was prevented.
