Scalp arteriovenous malformations are infrequent and very rare in the pediatric population. They consist of abnormal vessel communications between subcutaneous fatty layer vessels and the feeding arteries that supply the scalp. Its etiology might be congenital, traumatic or idiopathic. Clinically they might be asymptomatic or present with local discomfort, headache, and even necrosis and massive hemorrhage.
Diagnosis of this entity is made based on clinical findings and image exams and the tendency of the lesion is progressive growth.
The first line of treatment is extensive surgical resection of the entire malformation and its feeding arterial branches, since recurrences have been reported in cases where the blood supply was not removed entirely.
We report the case of a patient with arteriovenous malformation of the scalp, which may be congenital, without intracranial involvement and adequate response to endovascular treatment.
