Abstract

An arterio-veinous malformation can be acquired and is rarely congenital. It usually presents with cosmetic deformity. If large it may manifest features of haemodynamic changes.

It is treated with wide excision after ligation of feeder vessels. Herein we present one such case of arterio-veinous malformation with review of available literature.
