Abstract

Arteriovenous malformations involving the external ear are relatively uncommon in adults. Arteriovenous malformations in the head and neck can poses difficult therapeutic challenges. Case report. We report a case of a large arteriovenous malformation in the external ear in a 41-year-old man. Extensive enlargement of the previously latent and asymptomatic arteriovenous malformation was triggered by blunt trauma to the ear. We discuss the definition, clinical findings, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic management of arteriovenous malformations.
