Abstract
The operative approach to extensive vascular anomalies of the maxillofacial region with significant skeletal involvement demands considerable preoperative planning and orthodontic intervention guided by a creative surgical design. A case of a 17-year-old male with a middle and lower face lymphovenous malformation, requiring a complex orthodontic and surgical approach, is reported here. Details regarding the preoperative examination, orthodontic maneuvering, and the surgical procedures are given. An overview of the classification and clinical implications of craniofacial vascular anomalies is also presented.
