Lower gastrointestinal bleeding is a common general surgical presentation in acute and chronic settings. Vascular anomalies account for 2% of such cases and can therefore be missed. We discuss a rare vascular anomaly in one of our patients where the diagnosis was not established for a ten-year period. We describe the subsequent management and a brief review of the literature of this uncommon co...

Blood and lymphatic vessel formation is a vital dynamic process that when dysregulated can lead to excessive or abnormal formation of the vasculature. Vascular malformations are often associated with bony and/or soft tissue hypertrophy (overgrowth) that may occur regionally or involve the whole body. These overgrowth syndromes can be categorized based on the type of vascular malformation presen...

Vascular anomalies are localized defects in the vasculature that may or may not be present at birth. There are many types of vascular anomalies with different aetiology and clinical picture and, therefore, require the combined expertise of medical, radiological, and surgical specialities for its diagnosis and management. The term "haemangioma" is used as a common generic label to incorporate al...

The management of vascular anomalies is an extremely challenging area and is as divergent as the nature of lesions. Traditionally, embolization with the resection of the lesion has been used. The purpose of this report is to present cases treated successfully using sclerosing solution injections alone. Management of the vascular malformation using intralesional injections of sodium tetradecyl s...

Bilateral absence of the superior vena cava (SVC) is a very rarely detected, mainly asymptomatic congenital vascular anomaly. Though usually innocent, this anomaly may complicate cardiothoracic surgery and certain procedures like central venous catheter insertion. This SVC anomaly is poorly known, and we assume that its incidence in the general population may be higher than detected. In this pa...

Hydranencephaly is a rare anomaly of the central nervous system (CNS)which charaderised by absence of the cerebral hemispheres. The etiologic hypotheses are numerous and the causal injuries have been thought to be vascular ocdusion. viral encephalitis and genetic abnormalities.
