# Arteriovenous Malformation of the Superficial Femoral Artery: A Case Report

## TL;DR

A rare case of a vascular abnormality in a young child is reported, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis and treatment.

## Contribution

This paper presents a unique pediatric case of superficial femoral artery arteriovenous malformation and its successful surgical management.

## Key findings

- Computed tomography angiography confirmed the diagnosis of arteriovenous malformation.
- Surgical excision successfully treated the condition in a three-year-old patient.
- Early detection and intervention are critical to prevent complications from AVMs.

## Abstract

Peripheral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare vascular anomalies characterized by abnormal connections between arteries and veins that bypass the capillary system. This case report details a three-year-old female child who presented with an enlarging swelling on her knee's medial side. AVM was diagnosed using computed tomography (CT) angiography and surgically excised. The case highlights the importance of early detection and timely intervention of AVMs to prevent complications.
