introduction: vascular abnormalities are relatively uncommon lesions, but head and neck is a common region for vascular malformation which is classified as benign tumors. in this paper, the authors report a rare presentation of vascular malformation in the tongue and its managements. case report: an 18 months 2 old child presented with a giant mass of tongue which caused functional and aestheti...

Vascular malformations are common lesions accounting for approximately 7% of all benign tumors, the majority of which develop in the head and neck region.1 In general, vascular lesions were separated into two major groups, infantile hemangiomas and vascular malformations. Hemangiomas are characterized by endothelial cellular hyperplasia, proliferation and rapid growth which is seen for 6 to 8 m...

The Onyx liquid embolic system is a relatively safe and commonly used treatment for vascular malformations, such as arteriovenous fistulas and arteriovenous malformations. However, studies on possible complications after Onyx embolization in patients with vascular malformations are limited, and the occurrence of cranial nerve palsy is occasionally reported. Here we report the progress of two di...

Vascular malformations of the muscle are rare non-proliferative vascular lesions, and few case reports have described intramuscular in upper extremities. may produce musculoskeletal deformities due to contracture. Symptomatic commonly treated with surgery interventional management. We report a malformation that could not be completely resected. It caused adduction contracture thumb hand. Sclero...

Vascular malformations are localized errors of angiogenic development. Most are cutaneous and are called vascular 'birthmarks'. These anomalies are usually obvious in the newborn, grow commensurately with the child, and gradually expand in adulthood (Mulliken and Glowacki, 1982). Vascular malformations also occur in visceral organs, such as the respiratory and gastrointestinal tract, but are mo...

We describe three cases of unusual vascular malformations in which the most relevant angiographic findings were the presence of a pathologic arteriovenous shunt through multiple small direct arteriovenous fistulas and the lack of a clearly identifiable nidus. All malformations were symptomatic. Such lesions are relatively rare, but they should be taken into consideration in the differential dia...

BACKGROUND Endovascular therapy for vascular malformations is one of the treatment options for limb vascular malformations. CASE PRESENTATION A patient with a vascular malformation of the hip developed ipsilateral leg weakness immediately after endovascular embolization and sclerotherapy. Clinical and electrodiagnostic findings later confirmed an incomplete sciatic neuropathy. CONCLUSION We...

Patients with spinal vascular lesions present with unique symptoms and have important anatomical and physiologic changes that must be considered prior to treatment. In this mini-review, we provide an overview of normal spinal vascular anatomy and discuss several key spinal vascular lesions. We provide an overview of cavernous malformations, intradural arteriovenous malformations, perimedullary ...

Vascular malformations are localized defects of vascular development. They usually affect a limited number of vessels in a restricted area of the body. Although most malformations are sporadic, inheritance is observed, enabling genetic analysis. Usually, sporadic forms present with a single lesion whereas multiple lesions are observed in familial cases. The last decade has seen unraveling of se...
