This book is a superbly illustrated guide to the diagnosis and
treatment of congenital vascular malformations (CVMs) that will
enable the reader to avoid the serious pitfalls that may arise when
caring for patients with this rare and complex group of lesions.
After discussion of pathogenesis, classification, and differential
diagnosis from vascular tumors, the clinical features of CVMs are
described and illustrated, covering both the various forms (venous,
arteriovenous, lymphatic, capillary, and mixed) and presentations
at different anatomic sites. The current role of CT, MRI,
scintigraphy, and angiography in diagnostic evaluation is
explained, and treatment options, including conservative treatment,
are then considered in detail. The discussion of endovascular
treatment, or embolo-sclerotherapy, includes instruction on patient
selection, embolic and sclerosing materials, access to the target
lesion, site-specific variations in treatment strategy, and
complications and their management. Indications for and performance
of surgical/excisional therapy and laser therapy are also fully
considered.
