Orbital arteriovenous malformations are rare congenital vascular anomalies that can cause eyelid distortion, proptosis, diplopia, and vision loss. The current treatment paradigm involves endovascular embolization followed by resection, with delayed reconstruction. The authors report 2 young adult patients with orbital arteriovenous malformations, who underwent embolization followed days to months later by resection with immediate soft tissue reconstruction. For both patients, the immediate outcome provided good functionality and cosmesis. The authors conclude that immediate reconstruction after embolization-resection of orbital arteriovenous malformations may facilitate early return of form and function for patients, improve quality of life, and potentially reduce the need for further reconstructive procedures.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 24 April 2015.
All research outputs
#22,759,802
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
#950
of 1,413 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#284,148
of 324,560 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
#36
of 58 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,413 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.6. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 324,560 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 58 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
