Ergotamine exposure during pregnancy has been suggested to cause birth defects which have a vascular disruptive aetiology. The present case provides additional support for the possible adverse fetal effects of exposure to ergotamine, caffeine, and propranolol during the first four months of pregnancy. At birth the infant showed evidence of early arrested cerebral maturation and paraplegia. The ...

An unusual retinal arterial malformation is presented in this case report. A 50-years-old female with no significant past medical history, presented with an unusual retinal arterial malformation without any vision loss in the right eye. Inferior temporal retinal artery had a corkscrew like looping and extension to vitreous cavity at its emerging site from optic disc. Fundus fluorescein angiogra...

Endovascular stent-graft repair is emerging as the treatment of choice for complicated type B aortic dissection. In this report we describe a patient who presented with type B aortic dissection involving a right-sided aortic arch (RAA), a rare congenital vascular anomaly. The initial aggressive medical treatment proved unsuccessful due to false aneurysm expansion. Given the greater complexity o...

BACKGROUND Hemangioma and vascular malformation are benign vascular lesions that often occur in cephalic and cervical region. Currently, surgical resection, laser therapy, angiographic embolization, use of steroids, and sclerotherapy are used as treatments. CASE PRESENTATION This study reports three cases of benign vascular lesions that are remarkably treated by sodium tetradecyl sulfate (STS...

Vascular malformations are one of the most common lesions of the oral cavity. The lesion may be a congenital malformation observed in neonates or arteriovenous malformation observed in adults. Various surgical and medical managements are possible for vascular lesions which include surgical excision, laser therapy, cryotherapy, selective embolization, intralesional sclerosing agents, β-blockers ...

Vascular disease of the upper extremity consists of a diverse group of conditions of different etiologies and presentations. These conditions can be broken down into the following groups: (a) vaso-occlusive disease, which consists of embolism, thrombosis, aneurysms, atherosclerosis, and vasculitis; (b) vasospastic conditions, including Raynaud’s disease, secondary Raynaud’s phenomenon, acrocyan...

H emangiomas on the body surface are traditionally classified into strawberry, sponge, mixed, capillary, and rac-emosum hemangiomas. They were classified into 2 major categories, namely, hemangioma and vascular malformation, by Mulliken and Glowacki 1 in 1982. This was a milestone of progress in the classification of hemangioma. This classification was refined in 1996 and expanded in 2014 by th...

Vascular anomalies affect up to 10% of newborns, largely because of the high incidence of hemangioma of infancy. Vascular anomalies also frequently occur in adults; there is high prevalence of capillary malformations (0.3%). These cutaneous stains often cause psychosocial problems related to their visibility. Venous malformations occur in the skin and in internal organs and may cause destructio...

CONTEXT Although rare, a pancreatic arteriovenous malformation can have serious consequences. A diagnosis of arteriovenous malformation requires evidence of aberrant communication between the arterial and the venous systems. This report describes a case where the use of multi-detector row CT and specific post-processing methods provided a diagnosis of arteriovenous malformation. This minimally ...

Introduction: Retinal arterio-venous malformations (AVMs) are rare, congenital, high-flow congenital developmental vascular anomalies without intervening capillary bed also known as racemose angioma, They unilateral, nonhereditary lesions located anywhere in retina and may involve optic nerve.
 Case report: A 55 year old male was found to have abnormal malformation over nerve head his left...
