ABSTRACT
Torrential bleeding is a rare and life-threatening complication of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). We report a case of head and neck AVMs present with uncontrollable torrential bleeding, which was treated with embolization and sclerotherapy. Then we explored the potential multidisciplinary handling of the procedure for this kind of case. A 25-year-old female patient was born with right face and head AVMs. The AVMs had grown gradually and ruptured spontaneously with uncontrollable torrential bleeding before admission. Emergent direct hemostasis, nasotracheal intubation, and staged embolization and sclerotherapy were carried out on this patient. Finally, the bleeding stopped and the wound healed successfully. Embolization and sclerotherapy are effective for head and neck AVMs with uncontrollable torrential bleeding. Multidisciplinary collaboration is needed to achieve a good outcome.
