Abstract

Abstract: Oral and maxillofacial region is the most common site for the onset of vascular anomalies. Some vascular anomalies can lead to bleeding, which may be the first noticeable symptom. Due to the rich blood supply and the proximity to the respiratory tract, bleeding in this area is particularly challenging to manage. If not treated promptly or if inappropriate methods are used, they may result in serious complications. To address this issue, we invited a group of domestic experts with extensive experience in diagnosing and treating vascular anomalies in oral and maxillofacial region to formulate this consensus. The goal is to provide guidance and recommendations for medical professionals on the management of bleeding associated with these vascular lesions.

Key words: Oral and maxillofacial region, Vascular anomalies, Bleeding, Treatment, Expert consensus
