BILIARY atresia is the most common indication for liver transplants in children, and this disorder is associated with some congenital vascular anomalies. Complex vascular anomalies increase the technical difficulties of the operation and previously resulted in high mortality in these patients. The role of the radiologist is to define the conditions in which transplantation is high risk or contr...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com sometimes it may occur as an autosomal dominant trait [1,2]. Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome is a cutaneous vascular malformation affecting the development of blood vessels, soft tissues and bones [3]. This is a non-heritable disorder which is present at birth and usually involves lower limb but may involve more than one limb and a portion of the t...

Vascular rings formed by anomalies of major arteries can compress the trachea and oesophagus so much as to cause respiratory distress and dysphagia. Twenty-nine patients with this condition are reviewed and discussed in five groups. The symptoms and signs are noted. Radiological examination by barium swallow is the most useful diagnostic aid. Symptoms can only be relieved by operation. The trac...

Vascular abnormalities of the head and neck are relatively uncommon lesions. An understanding of these anomalies based on their pathogenesis and natural history clearly divides them into hemangiomas and vascular malformations. Treatment strategies that are reasonable and predictable can then be devised based on the aforementioned factors.

The presence of a vascular anomaly suggests that capillaries, veins, arteries, and/or lymphatic vessels have demonstrated abnormal development and growth. Often dilated and misshaped, these vessels augment normal flow of blood and lymphatic fluids that increases the overall risk to develop intralesional thrombosis. Abnormal endothelial and lymphoendothelial cells activate hemostasis and hyperfi...
