Usefulness of computed tomographic angiography in the management of extracranial scalp arteriovenous malformation

摘要

Extracranial scalp arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are relatively rare accounting for only 8.1% of cases.[1] They are 20 times more common in brain involving or supplied by intracranial vasculature.[2] We report a case of huge scalp AVM in a young lady and highlight the usefulness of computed tomographic angiography (CTA) in diagnosis and surgical management of scalp AVMs.
