Abstract
We report herein the clinical evaluation and surgical treatment of three cases of neck arteriovenous malformation (AVM). The first case underwent surgery after embolization of the artery. After 2 years and 3 months, the AVM had disappeared. The second case underwent operation after arterial embolization. Re-growth was identified after 6 years and treatment has been considered. For the third case, who had undergone an artery embolization operation 16 years earlier, re-growth was treated surgically using a cyber-knife. Three years and 6 months after treatment, the AVM has not re-grown. Care is required with operations for AVM after embolization. AVM is a benign disorder, but readily re-grows. A careful and long-term wait-and-see approach is required, and new methods of treating re-growth are needed.
