vascular dysplasias
Friday 25 July 2003
congenital vascular syndromes, vascular malformations
NB: We prefer the term "vascular dysplasias" for "vascular malformations" because of the risk of confusion with the malformations of vessels (vascular malformations).
Digital cases
HPC:423 : Small complex vascular malformation
Types
capillary malformations
- cerebral capillary malformation
- cutaneous capillary malformation ("port-wine stain")
venous malformations arteriovenous malformations(arteriovenous fistula) glomus tumors and glomuvenous malformations lymphatic malformations combined vascular malformations
Vascular malformative syndromes
Sturge-Weber syndrome Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome Parkes-Weber syndrome
According to the localization
intramuscular vascular malformations pulmonary vascular malformations hepatic vascular malformaions digesive vascular malformations cerebral vascular malformations (intracranial vascular malformations)
