Abstract

We report a case of a mandibular arteriovenous malformation in a 3-year-old child, who attended our department, and have carried out a literature review. Clinical relevance: Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is a rare condition but clinicians need to be aware of it as this lesion can have potentially life-threatening complications due to massive haemorrhage.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
