Vascular disease affecting the spinal can cause substantial neurologic morbidity. Several vascular spinal cord ailments present as neurologic emergencies, and should thus be recognizable to the practicing neurologist. We review the epidemiology, presentation, management strategies, and prognosis of various pathologies, including infarction, dural arteriovenous fistula, arteriovenous malformatio...

Four cases of Dieulafoy's vascular malformation of the caecum are reported. Three were associated with massive large bowel haemorrhage, one of which was fatal. The remaining case had a calibre persistent submucosal artery within the caecum that was found incidentally in a resection specimen. This vascular malformation should be considered when dealing with specimens resected for massive lower g...

Vascular anomalies are a heterogeneous group of congenital blood vessel disorders more typically referred to as birthmarks. Subcategorized into vascular tumors and malformations, each anomaly is characterized by specific morphology, pathophysiology, clinical behavior, and management approach. Hemangiomas are the most common vascular tumors. Lymphatic, capillary, venous, and arteriovenous malfor...

Coronary artery originating from pulmonary is a rare congenital vascular malformation, which generally presents corresponding clinical symptoms with the growth of patients’ age. CTA and angiography are important methods for diagnosis this disease, provide evidence treatment strategies patients. Keywords: bicardiovascular malformations; coronary arteries; cta.

d evelopmental venous anomaly is a widely used synonym for venous angioma or cerebral venous malformation [1]. DVAs are the most frequently encountered cerebral vascular malformation and are frequently reported as incidental findings in computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging studies. Radiological and autopsy series have demonstrated that DVAs occur in 2.5 to 3% of the general popula...

Phakomatosis Pigmentovascularis (PPV) is a rare cutaneous congenital malformation syndrome, defined as simultaneous occurrence of congenital cutaneous vascular and pigmentary anomalies. As most of the reported cases are from Far East countries, especially Japan, we reported a case of PPV type IIa in an Iranian patient. This case was unusual because of the coexistence of unilateral extensive por...

AIMS We discuss our experience with the surgical management of scalp vascular malformation and review the literature on the subject. SETTINGS AND DESIGN A prospective case-control study of eight patients with scalp vascular malformations admitted to our hospital between 1997 and 2002. METHODS AND MATERIALS All the patients were investigated with selective internal and external carotid angio...

Vascular malformations of the muscle are rare non-proliferative vascular lesions, and few case reports have described intramuscular in upper extremities. may produce musculoskeletal deformities due to contracture. Symptomatic commonly treated with surgery interventional management. We report a malformation that could not be completely resected. It caused adduction contracture thumb hand. Sclero...

BACKGROUND Dural sinus malformation (DSM) is a term used to describe congenital vascular malformations characterized by massive dilation of one or more dural sinuses: these dilatations are typically associated with arteriovenous shunts. Such malformations can present antenatally but their early natural history and anatomy is poorly defined. METHODS We reviewed five years of autopsy experience...

common causes of soft tissue masses. Because of the absence of unifying concepts and accurate definitions, significant confusion remains as to appropriate classification. The term “hemangioma”has been used as a generic word to describe a variety of vascular lesions, and in the past has been used to describe a combination of the hemangioma of infancy and venous malformation with confusing radiol...
