Abstract
- Auricular arterio-venous malformation(AVM) is relatively rare and few have been reported in the literature. Two cases, presented here showed pulsating lesions of anterior and posterior auricular or even retroauricular mastoid area. They caused irregular macro and prominent ear compared with the opposite normal ear. After embolization of feeding arteries to the arteriovenous malformations, skin and subcutaneous masses were completely removed and grafted with full thickness skin: one was removed one stage and the other underwent a two stage operations. There were no evidence of recurrence for more than 2 years follow up and esthetic results were promising.
