Core Tip

Core Tip: We present a rare case of giant vascular malformation (VM) of the head and face. Combined with our study suggests that surgical resection of giant VMs is a great challenge for surgeons and should be adequately prepared preoperatively and intraoperatively. One of the preoperative preparations for surgical resection is interventional embolisation.
