Successful Removal of a Complex Arteriovenous Malformation at Mouwasat Hospital in Madinah
27/12/2025
Madinah – Mouwasat Hospital
The medical team at Mouwasat Hospital Madinah achieved a remarkable milestone by successfully removing a large and complex arteriovenous malformation from the head of a Yemeni patient. This condition posed a significant health challenge, especially after a previous attempt at another hospital failed due to severe bleeding.
Case Details
The patient suffered from a rare and complicated vascular birthmark on the head. A prior surgical attempt was unsuccessful because of uncontrollable bleeding, which increased the complexity and risk of the case.
Treatment Plan and Surgical Approach
Under the supervision of a consultant in neurovascular surgery, the team developed a precise treatment strategy to minimize risks and ensure optimal results. The plan included:
- Endovascular closure of feeding arteries and veins to reduce blood flow and minimize bleeding risk.
- Definitive surgery after two weeks, involving complete removal of the birthmark by a multidisciplinary team of consultants in plastic surgery and neurosurgery.
- Reconstruction of skin and soft tissue using a scalp flap to achieve the best cosmetic and functional outcomes.
Successful Outcome
The surgery was completed successfully without the need for a blood transfusion, a major achievement given the high-risk nature of the case. The patient was discharged in stable condition and is now on the path to full recovery.
Mouwasat’s Commitment to Excellence
This success story reflects Mouwasat Hospital’s dedication to providing advanced healthcare solutions for complex cases through seamless collaboration between medical specialties and the use of cutting-edge technologies.
