Vascular Malformations
Vascular malformations are abnormalities in the structure, size, or position of blood vessels. They can affect any part of the body and can be present at birth or develop later in life as a result of injury or illness. Vascular malformations can limit blood flow and cause serious health issues including pain, swelling, and poor circulation. They can also be a risk factor for stroke, deep vein thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism. Treatment typically involves either surgically removing the malformation or using medications or lasers to shrink or close it off. Early detection and treatment is important to help manage possible symptoms and reduce the risk of complications.
