Abstract
Congenital pelvic arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an uncommon vascular anomaly characterized by direct connection between arteries and veins, encompassing a malformed vascular network, or nidus. Due to its infrequent occurrence and the nonspecific nature of its symptoms, congenital pelvic AVM
in males has been seldom explored. In this case study, we discussed a 64-year-old male who visited the gastroenterology outpatient department at Apollo Multispecialty Hospitals, Kolkata, reporting a mild, dull aching pain on the right side of his abdomen for the past five months. A high-flow pelvic wall AVM was
identified through CECT whole abdomen. Absence of any other contributing pathology indicated congenital origin of AV malformation.
