Contribution of flow MRI in the therapeutic management of middle face high flow arteriovenous malformation: A case report
Abstract : Backround: The radiosurgical management of high flow arteriovenous malformations (HFAVM) in the "destructive" stage requires a precise hemodynamic and anatomical assessment.
Patient and methods/case report: We report the case of a 32 years-old patient with a large ulcerated face HFAVM, on which Doppler ultrasound was impossible to perform. We show that, by combining 3D PCA and 2D CINE PC-MRI sequences, magnetic resonance imaging is capable to provide a complete morphometric and velocimetric mapping of the nidus and feeding arteries of the HFAVM.
Conclusion: Although Doppler ultrasound is the reference examination in the HFAVM, Flow MRI without contrast agent provides an advantageous alternative to assess vascular pathologies and choose the therapeutic strategy. (C) 2018 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
