Endovascular Management of Vascular Malformations

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Vascular Malformations

Abstract

Vascular malformations are the result of errors in vascular development. They may cause identifiable birthmarks of the skin and mucosa and a varying degree of underlying soft tissue abnormalities. These lesions predominantly occur in the head and neck and occur in around 0.3% of live births. Detailed analysis and in-depth understanding of the natural history of vascular anomalies is critical for practitioners managing these lesions [1].
