Abstract
Arteriovenous malformations (AVM) constitute a clinically significant form of vascular malformations in children. We present three cases of paediatric AVMs that demonstrated unusual features of high flow and significant shunting of blood without a clearly demonstrable nidus. Venous malformations were associated with the lesions. A discussion of the concepts underlying AVM physiology and how these case reports contradict these is included.Entities:
