Abstract
Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are vascular anomalies due to a failure in embryogenesis. They involve direct communication between an artery and a vein with no intervening capillary bed.
We report a case of unilateral AVM with complication-vitreous hemorrhage. Methods and Results.
This is a case report of small AVM which was complicated by vitreous hemorrhage. Lasercoagulation of the AVM was performed for the prevention of recurrent vitreous hemorrhage.
Conclusion. Lasercoagulation of abnormal vessels can be performed in patients with a history of vitreous hemorrhage due to AVM with a good result.
