Vascular Malformation
Vascular malformations are abnormal formations of blood vessels that are present from birth, although they may not become noticeable until childhood or adulthood. These abnormalities can involve arteries, veins, capillaries, lymphatic vessels, or a combination of these. Unlike vascular tumors, vascular malformations do not disappear on their own and may gradually enlarge over time.
Depending on their size and location, vascular malformations can cause swelling, pain, skin discoloration, bleeding, recurrent infections, cosmetic concerns, or functional problems affecting nearby muscles, nerves, or organs. Early diagnosis by a vascular specialist is essential to prevent complications and determine the most appropriate treatment.
At our Vascular Surgery Center, we specialize in the diagnosis and management of all types of vascular malformations using advanced imaging techniques and modern minimally invasive or surgical treatment options. Our goal is to reduce symptoms, improve function, and enhance the quality of life while preserving healthy surrounding tissues.
Causes of Vascular Malformation
Vascular malformations develop due to abnormal blood vessel formation during fetal development. They are congenital conditions and are not caused by injury or lifestyle factors.
Common causes and associated factors include:
- Congenital abnormalities in blood vessel development before birth
- Genetic mutations affecting vascular formation
- Venous malformations
- Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs)
- Lymphatic malformations
- Capillary malformations (such as port-wine stains)
- Combined vascular malformations involving multiple vessel types
- Enlargement of existing malformations with age, hormonal changes, pregnancy, or trauma
- Rare inherited vascular syndromes
Although present at birth, many vascular malformations become more noticeable later in life as they gradually increase in size.
