Abstract

Primary orbital arteriovenous malformations are a rare kind of vascular malformation lesions. The authors present a 17-year-old man presented with swelling and pulsation in the left upper eyelid. The angiogram of the left internal carotid artery showed that arteriovenous malformations at the left upper eyelid area were supplied with one of the branches of ophthalmic artery. In this report, the authors elaborated the comprehensive treatments of primary arteriovenous malformation.
