Abstract:
Vascular malformations affect the viscera less commonly than the head and neck, extremities, and extra-cavitary soft tissues. They present with a wide spectrum of symptoms and findings including pain, respiratory compromise, hemoptysis, chylothorax, ascites, gastrointestinal bleeding, and obstruction. Management options depend upon the subtype of malformation and anatomic extent and may include sclerotherapy, embolization, surgical extirpation, coloanal pull-through, and occasionally more innovative individualized surgical approaches.
