Surgical Management of Arteriovenous Malformation in the Foot: A Case Study

Arteriovenous malformations are frequently found in the head and neck, and are occasionally associated with congenital syndromes. They are rarely reported in the foot and ankle; however, when encountered in these particular locations, they may become painful and interfere with ambulation. Because of the lack of literature on pedal arteriovenous malformations, they remain enigmatic when encountered clinically. They form as a result of atypical development of the vascular system during embryogenesis.
