โฆ Synopsis
The highly vascular nature of the head and neck area provides a particularly enhanced challenge to the head and neck surgeon when a vascular lesion is encountered. Vascular malformations in this area are classified according to the microanatomical architecture and clinical appearance of the lesion. Although bleeding is a common presentation with vascular malformations, other local and systemic problems may be associated with this problem. An unusual case of an arteriovenous malformation of the ethmoid and maxillary sinuses which caused persistent and recurrent epistaxis is presented. A review of the current literature concerning vascular lesions of the head and neck area is included. Adequate treatment of this lesion presently includes angiographically controlled vascular embolization followed by complete surgical excision. HEAD L ? NECK 1990; 12:512-515.

## Abstract ## Background Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in the extracranial region is uncommon. The most common sites are cheek, ear, nose, and forehead in order of frequency in the extracranial region. Although the external ear is the second most common site for the extracranial AVM, AVM in th
Interventional radiology is becoming one of the standard treatments of arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Cyanoacrylate derivatives and polymer solutions are widely used to occlude the AVM nidus by their injection through a catheter, but they are far from satisfactory embolic liquids. For instance, c
