Abstract

Clinicians must be able to recognize post-extraction complications and treat them in a timely manner; complications that may potentially be life-threatening require special attention. Although arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a very rare disorder, it may induce life-threatening hemorrhage during surgical intervention in the pertinent site. The present article examines the diagnosis and treatment modalities of AVM based on the case of a patient who was diagnosed with AVM with continuous bleeding after tooth extraction and who was successfully treated.
