BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) are at risk for developing cerebral vascular malformations and pulmonary arteriovenous fistulae. We assessed the risk of neurological dysfunction from these malformations and fistulae. METHODS Three hundred twenty-one consecutive patients with HHT seen at a single institution over a 20-year period were studied. A...

Vascular malformations of uterus are extremely rare, benign lesions. A survey the literature identified fewer than 50 cases hemangioma uterus. Here, we describe a rare case cavernous hemangiomatous polyp in 36 years old non pregnant wowan with endometrial polypectomy. vascular lesions localized to portion may be clinically silent during pregnancy and throughout delivery thus making it difficult...

BACKGROUND Congenital vascular malformations are tumour-like, non-neoplastic lesions caused by disorders of vascular tissue morphogenesis. They are characterised by a normal cell replacement cycle throughout all growth phases and do not undergo spontaneous involution. Here we present a scintigraphic image of familial congenital vascular malformations in two sisters. MATERIAL/METHODS A 17-year...

Pediatric vascular malformations of the central nervous system differ from those seen in adults. Their classification may be based on symptoms, pathomechanics, patient's age, morphologic features, or presumed etiology. This review describes the different classification schemes and the endovascular management options of these rare and challenging diseases. The proposed etiologic classification o...

PURPOSE To present the CT characteristics of histologically confirmed venous vascular malformations limited to the submandibular triangle in patients without clinical stigmata of venous vascular malformations. METHODS The clinical records and CT scans of five women with venous vascular malformations limited to the submandibular triangle were reviewed. Patients ranged from 39 to 70 years of ag...

Blue rubber bleb naevus syndrome is an uncommon disorder whereby patients possess cutaneous vascular malformations. Cranial malformations have been rarely reported in the literature. We report the first ever case of a patient with blue rubber bleb naevus syndrome (BRBNS), who was found to have a symptomatic Chiari malformation and prominent subcutaneous vascular malformations in communication w...

Background: Percutaneous treatment has been widely used in low flow vascular malformations. However, surgery still an important role the management of these patients.Objective: The aim this study is to assess indications for malformations, as well safety, efficacy, and recurrence rate.Patients Methods: A total 33 patients with malformations were enrolled study. Duplex ultrasonography magnetic r...

Mulliken and Glowacki categorized vascular anomalies as either hemangiomas or malformations, with the former being the most common tumor of infancy. Despite distinct clinical, radiologic, and histologic findings, the two major types of vascular lesions are often confused. This complicates both patient care and interpretation of the medical literature. A thorough understanding of the presentatio...

Various combinations of vascular malformations of the brain in one lesion have been reported, while others seem to be very rare. In this report, the authors discuss the case of a coexistence of an capillary telangiectasia of the pons and intracerebral venous anomaly. To our knowledge, this is the first report of coexistence of a capillary telangiectasia of the pons and intracerebral venous anom...

BACKGROUND Class 3 urogenital malformations are a rarely encountered in the clinical setting. The association with complex vascular malformations represent a challenge in diagnosis and intraoperative management with an enhanced degree of the complexity. CASE PRESENTATION Young female presented to the emergency department with pain in the left lower quadrant and unspecific abdominal symptoms t...
