ABSTRACT Background: High flow arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the mandible is rare, but it can present as a life-threatening emergency with severe intraoral bleeding for the first time. The gold standard of treatment for an AVM of the mandible is selective embolisation combined with resection and subsequent reconstructions. With the advent of advanced multidisciplinary techniques aimed at definitive therapy, surgical resection and primary reconstruction can provide an ideal anatomical and functional cure. There are no previous reports on primary resection and reconstruction for life-threatening haemorrhage from high flow AVM of the mandible. Aim: We discuss our approach aimed at definitive therapy in life-threatening intraoral bleeding from large high flow AVM of the mandible. Subjects and Methods: Four patients were managed for life-threatening intraoral bleeding during 2015–2017. Compression was applied over the bleeding point before the airway could be secured by endotracheal tube. Under general anaesthesia, the external carotid artery (ECA) was temporarily occluded using an umbilical tape loop ligature to control the bleeding. Emergency selective embolisation was done, followed by curative resection and primary mandible reconstruction using free fibula flap. Outcome assessed. Results: Temporary occlusion of the ECA successfully controlled the bleeding immediately and facilitated selective embolisation and definitive therapy. All the four cases were successfully reconstructed with a good outcome. There was no recurrence during the follow-up period. Conclusion: In life-threatening intraoral bleeding from large high flow AVM of the mandible, emergency selective embolisation followed by curative resection and primary reconstruction is safe in achieving an ideal cure.

Female, 66 years old with a chief complain of shortness of breath and lump over her neck since 6 month. Neck USG showed enlarged right lobe of thyroid gland with hyperechoic nodules. FNAC confirmed anaplastic carcinoma of thyroid. patient underwent chemotherapy using doxorubicin as agent of choice. She had difficulty in breathing and she kept on high flow of oxygen, even after she had stridor and planned for tracheostomy. MRI revealed heterogeneously enhancing mass (9.6*6.5*10.5 cm) replacing right lobe of thyroid, and extending superiorly till the level carotid bifurcation and inferiorly superior mediastinum. Lesion is partially encasing trachea and laryngeal airway, posteriorly extending into prevertebral space and anteriorly invading strap muscles and sternocleidomastoid muscle. Now it become very difficult stage. She transfers to ICU. intubation tried but failed. As mass was just anterior to trachea and difficult to do tracheostomy without intubation. all hope failed and she put continue to high flow of oxygen.

This case report describes the use of the Micro Vascular Plug (MVP) system in a mural-type vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation, resulting in successful occlusion of the cerebrovascular fistula. This result was confirmed with immediate cessation in blood flow and 6-month follow-up angiography. The unique characteristics of the MVP provide potential advantages over current embolic techniques for occlusion of high-flow, fistulous, intracranial vessels such as those seen in the vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation, and may represent a valuable addition to the currently available options.
