Background:
Vascular malformations are heterogenous angiodysplasias.
Aim:
The aim of this work is to study the epidemiological and clinical features of venous malformations (VM) as well as their multidisciplinary management.
Methods:
It is a retrospective study of patients having simple VM, seen at the multidisciplinary consultation of angiodysplasias of our hospital, over a 10 year period.
Results:
This study included 99 patients having VM. A female predominance was noticed. Average age was 18.5 years. VM had mainly cephalic location. All VM were treated with percutaneous sclerotherapy. Aesthetic results were excellent in the cases of small VM size.
Conclusion:
VM are most frequent in cephalic region and cause aesthetic and functional handicaps. Percutaneous sclerotherapy is the treatment of choice for such a venous malformations, especially for small VM. VM are anomalies which can have serious complications. Their management has to be multidisciplinary in order to better precise the diagnosis and to take the adequate therapeutic decision.
