Abstract:
Lymphatic malformations are congenital abnormalities of the lymphatic system which occur predominantly in the head and neck region. According to their dominant clinical and morphological characteristics, these are classified into micro- and macrocystic forms. Established therapies for lymphatic malformations include conventional surgery, sclerotherapy and laser treatment. Despite the significant improvements in therapeutic options seen in recent years, treatment of extensive lymphatic malformations remains an interdisciplinary challenge. Close-knit interdisciplinary cooperation is necessary to provide optimized care for affected individuals.

The first lymph sacs to form are the paired jugular lymph sacs located at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. From these sacs, lymphatic capillary plexuses extend to the thorax, upper limbs, neck, and head, eventually forming lymphatic vessels. Each jugular lymph sac maintains a...
