Vascular Malformations

Abstract

Arterial malformations in their purest form represent about 8% of all vascular malformations. They represent only arteries, without any venous, capillary, or lymphatic elements. These anomalies can present in various forms like aplasia, hypoplasia, or aneurysms. They can be totally asymptomatic or may present with various symptoms. Diagnosis of these anomalies can be made on the basis of history, clinical examination, and various investigations which include CT scan, MRI scan, and Doppler studies. The treatment of anomalies depends upon their type and presentation. They may require conservative treatment, planned treatment or a lifesaving emergency intervention. Knowledge of these anomalies is very important in order to timely diagnose and to able to provide appropriate treatment in time.
