What is vascular anomaly?

vascular anomaly or vascular malformation is the condition caused by localized irregularity in blood vessels and is usually benign in nature. The anomalies are found on the skin and are considered superficial, but can also be detected deeper in the skin and they are called "cavernous". Some anomalies develop since birth and sometimes called maternal features, while others may be caused by physical trauma. There are two classifications of vascular anomaly: vascular tumors or hemangiomas and vascular malformations. Hemangiomas often occur in infants and usually tend to retreat with time, but can also be found in older adults, while vascular malformations are present at birth and continue to grow.

Most of these anomalies occur on the head or neck, but can be found anywhere on the body, including internally. It is not known what causes infantile hemangioma, but they are predominant in girls, as well as twins and premature children. Although there is no evidence thatThese anomalies are genetic, up to ten percent of the infants with maternal brands will have members of their family, who also have a parent brand. It is difficult to treat hemangiomas and doctors often allow them to disappear themselves. Doctors sometimes take corrective measures using lasers if the vascular anomaly is large and unsightly.

Congenial hemangiona differs from infantile hemangioma in that it is fully formed at birth. The condition can actually be detected using an anultrasound while the child is still in the womb. Congenital hemangioma after birth does not eat different and usually has a diameter of about two inches (about five cm). They are usually found as one single maternal marks and are located between girls and boys in the same occurrence. Another rare type of vascular anomaly, which is present at birth, is called the caposiform hemangioendothelioma, but this is metastasion or spread to the rest of the body.

unlike heMangooma grow vascular malformations in relation to the child and are considered to be a disorder of veins, capillaries and lymphocytes. Sometimes known as spots from the wine port, capillary malformations are flat to the skin, red colors that are mainly around the head and neck and tend to darken with age. Lymphatic malformations are created by blockades in the lymphatic system and are benign. They can lead to large, stretched skin areas and can be repaired by surgery. The venous malformations are bluish and are the most common malformations, with up to 40 percent of vascular anomalies being venous.
