Compartment Syndrome after Embolization of Arteriovenous Malformation

초록

Management of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) remains challenging because of their unpredictable course and high morbidity rate. In this case report, we present a patient with a huge AVM on the right calf who suffered complications of compartment syndrome, rhabdomyolysis, skin necrosis, and nerve damage after sclerotherapy. Limb salvage was achieved in spite of these devastating complications. A multidisciplinary team approach is important especially when making decisions for the management of a complicated AVM.
