Vascular malformations

1. Venous malformations: congenital venous anomalies pathologically characterised by anomalous veins (thickened and hyalinised walls) separated by normal brain. These anatomically abnormal veins drain normal brain tissue. It is thought that they result from intrauterine ischemic event occurring during the formation of medullary veins resulting in collateral venous drainage. This is the most com...

Vascular malformations in childhood.

Vascular malformations are inborn errors of vascular embryogenesis present at birth that should be diagnosed in childhood and, when necessary, treated to prevent later complications.

Given the complexity, and in many cases, the rarity, of vascular malformations...

Extracranial vascular malformations (hemangiomas and vascular malformations) in children and adolescents – diagnosis, clinic, and therapy

The reason for this interest is finally also due to the global acceptance of the classification introduced by the ISSVA (International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies). Hemangiomas are the most frequently observed vascula...
