Venous vascular malformations and compressive neuropathy

Vascular malformations, rare causes of sciatic neuropathy: a case series.

BACKGROUND Sciatica is typically a clear-cut symptom complex commonly related to an impingement at the spinal nerve level. Etiologies of sciatic neuropathy outside the neural foramina are uncommon. OBJECTIVE To describe 4 patients presenting with radiating leg pain due to sciatic nerve involvement, all with a vascular etiology. METHODS Four patients presenting with neuropathic pain were ret...

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...

Sirolimus: A Rapid Treatment for Coagulopathy Because of Vascular Malformations

Laser treatment of venous malformations.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether treatment of venous congenital vascular malformations with the use of laser technology provides lightening or disappearance of lesions with a high degree of satisfaction reported by patients and observed by the physician. METHODS A retrospective study gathered 26 patients suffering from vascular malformation, of which 73.07% were female and were treated with the ...
