Vascular malformation information


Vascular malformation
Other namesVascular giantism or Lymphangioma

TreatmentIn low-flow lesions, sclerotherapy can be extremely effective, either alone, in small lesions, or combined with surgical resection or embolization, in larger lesions.[1]

A vascular malformation is a blood vessel or lymph vessel abnormality. Vascular malformations are one of the classifications of vascular anomalies, the other grouping is vascular tumors.[2] They may cause aesthetic problems as they have a growth cycle, and can continue to grow throughout life.

Vascular malformations of the brain include those involving capillaries, and those involving the veins and arteries. Capillary malformations in the brain are known as cerebral cavernous malformations or capillary cavernous malformations. Those involving the mix of vessels are known as cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs or cAVMs). The arteriovenous type is the most common in the brain.[3]
