Some vascular anomalies are congenital, others appear within weeks to years after birth, and others are acquired by trauma or during pregnancy. Inherited vascular anomalies are also described and often present with a number of lesions that increase with age. Vascular anomalies can also be a part of a syndrome. [citation needed]
An arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is an abnormal connection between arteries and veins, bypassing the capillary system. Usually congenital , this vascular anomaly is widely known because of its occurrence in the central nervous system (usually as a cerebral AVM ), but can appear anywhere in the body.
A vascular malformation is a type of vascular anomaly. [2] They may cause aesthetic problems as they have a growth cycle, and can continue to grow throughout life. Vascular malformations of the brain include those involving capillaries , and those involving the veins and arteries .
Cutis marmorata telangiectatica congenita (CMTC) is a rare congenital vascular disorder that usually manifests in affecting the blood vessels of the skin. The condition was first recognized and described in 1922 by Cato van Lohuizen, [2] a Dutch pediatrician whose name was later adopted in the other common name used to describe the condition – Van Lohuizen syndrome.
Persistent fetal vasculature (PFV), also known as persistent fetal vasculature syndrome (PFVS), and until 1997 known primarily as persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV), [1] is a rare congenital anomaly which occurs when blood vessels within the developing eye, known as the embryonic hyaloid vasculature network, fail to regress as they normally would in-utero after the eye is fully ...
Isolated double aortic arch without associated intracardiac defects is a vascular anomaly that can be corrected without the support of cardiopulmonary bypass. [citation needed] For surgical division of the narrower left aortic arch in a typical double arch patient with a dominant right arch, the patient is placed on the right side.
Klippel–Trénaunay syndrome, formerly Klippel–Trénaunay–Weber syndrome [1] and sometimes angioosteohypertrophy syndrome and hemangiectatic hypertrophy, [2] is a rare congenital medical condition in which blood vessels and/or lymph vessels fail to form properly.
The wall of the vein can be damaged during the procedure and, in some cases, the emboli can become dislodged and travel through the vascular system. [5] Two-dimensional echocardiography with color-flow imaging and pulsed Doppler ultrasound was used to evaluate one fetus and five neonates with a Vein of Galen malformation. [14]
