[Arteriovenous malformation of the left upper limb in stage II of Schöbinger: A case report in Madagascar].

Arteriovenous malformations are the most unpredictable and dangerous congenital malformations. They consist of multiple arteriovenous shunts with high flow and can progress to heart failure. They are rarely localized in the upper limb and pose therapeutic problems. We report a new case in a 27-year old woman, admitted for pulsatile pain in the left elbow. The diagnosis was made by clinical examination and ultrasonography. The surgical treatment without embolization and sclerotherapy, consisted of a large resection of the nidus without postoperative complication.
