Computed tomography angiography-assisted embolization of arteriovenous malformation prior to dental extractions in a patient with Sturge-Weber syndrome

Abstract

Sturge-Weber syndrome is a developmental condition characterized by hamartomatous vascular proliferation involving the tissues of the brain and face. Hemangiomatous proliferations and arterial venous malformations are common intraoral alterations that may be fatal due to incontrollable bleeding when performing surgical procedures in the face. The goal of this case report is to present the management of a 21-year-old woman with Sturge-Weber syndrome in whom it was necessary to perform embolization guided by computed tomography angiography before multiple tooth extractions.
