Traumatic nasal arterio-venous malformation: a case report.

Traumatic arterio-venous malformations of the nasal bones represent a rare but well defined clinical entity. We have described a case of a traumatic soft-tissue nasal arterio-venous malformation and commented on its investigation, pathophysiology and subsequent management. As far as we are aware this represents a hitherto unrecognised complication of nasal trauma.
