Fenestrated vertebrobasilar junction aneurysms are rare vascular lesions. Microsurgical intervention is extremely difficult due to the complex anatomy in the vicinity of these aneurysms. Endovascular neurosurgery appears to be safe and should be considered as the first modality of treatment. This case study details the treatment of an unruptured fusiform fenestrated vertebrobasilar junction ane...

Blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome is a sporadic disease with widely distributed dark blue papules and nodules and soft skin-colored compressible protuberances (rubber blebs) as well as large vascular malformations. Gasterointestinal lesions are documented by upper endoscopy and colonoscopy; hemorrhages from these lesions create irondeficinecy anemia. Other sites of visceral involvement are less c...

Direct Thermometry, Ophthalmodynamometry, A uscultation and Palpation in Extracranial Cerebrovascular Disease: An Evaluation of Rapid Diagnostic Methods • The ability of four rapid diagnostic tests—direct thermometry, ophthalmodynamometry, and bruit and pulse assessment—to discriminate for the presence or absence of significant extracranial cerebrovascular disease is examined. Utilized separate...

Patients with spinal vascular lesions present with unique symptoms and have important anatomical and physiologic changes that must be considered prior to treatment. In this mini-review, we provide an overview of normal spinal vascular anatomy and discuss several key spinal vascular lesions. We provide an overview of cavernous malformations, intradural arteriovenous malformations, perimedullary ...

What a useful tool the vascular anomalies classification described by Wassef et al would have been during my medical training! As a pediatric resident in the 1980s, I was frequently perplexed by the many red “birth marks” I was confronted with while performing newborn and well-child examinations. Despite a reassuring nod from attendings, who offered terms like “port wine stain” and “strawberry ...

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...

infantile haemangiomas (ih) are the most common vascular tumors occurring in early childhood, with a prevalence of approximately 5-10% of infants. these vascular tumors are divided into two main groups including infantile haemangioma and vascular malformations. although, haemangioma of infancy are common, benign and self-limited tumors, a significant percent of these lesions are associated with...

Verrucous hemangioma is a rare, localized vascular malformation.The lesions are bluish-red, well demarcated, and compressible. Wereport a case of a 10-year-old girl with coexistent disseminatedverrucous hemangioma and subcutaneous hemangioma overthe nape of neck.
