INTRAOSSEOUS ARTERIOVENOUS MALFORMATION INVOLVING ELBOW JOINT – A RARE CASE REPORT

Asma Javed Qureshi

Abstract

Peripheral vascular malformations (PVMs) encompass a wide spectrum of lesions that can present as an incidental finding or produce potentially life- or limb-threatening complications. They can have intra-articular and intraosseous extensions that will result in more diverse symptomology and present greater therapeutic challenges. PVMs are relatively common within the extremities and usually confined to the subcutaneous tissues and muscles. Any misdiagnosis can lead to inappropriate management and treatment. We present to you case of a 40 years old female who presented with complaints of pain in left elbow joint with redness of skin for the last 5 years. Diagnosis of intraosseous arteriovenous malformation was made based on radiological investigations including ultrasound, MRI and angiography.
