Abstract

Since the turn of the last century, relentless efforts were made on the congenital vascular malformation (CVM) for better understanding. But, the CVM still remains as an enigma in modern medicine with such wide range of clinical presentation, unpredictable clinical course, and erratic response to the treatment with high recurrence: the most difficult and confusing diagnostic as well as therapeutic challenge among various vascular disorders [1–3].
