Venous Fistula

Spontaneous CSF–venous fistulas may be present in up to one-fourth of patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension. This is a recently discovered type of CSF leak, and much remains unknown about these fistulas. Spinal CSF–venous fistulas are usually seen in coexistence with a spinal meningeal diverticulum, suggesting the presence of an underlying structural dural weakness at the proximal portion of the fistula. The authors now report the presence of soft-tissue venous/venolymphatic malformations associated with spontaneous spinal CSF–venous fistulas in 2 patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension, suggesting a role for distal venous pathology. In a third patient with spontaneous intracranial hypotension and a venolymphatic malformation, such a CSF–venous fistula is strongly suspected.

ABSTRACT Background Vascular anomalies are divided into vascular tumors, hemangiomas being the most common, and vascular malformations. Most vascular anomalies are noticed at birth or occur during infancy, and generally involve skin or subcutaneous soft tissues. Adult onset hemangiomas are rare, and intramuscular location is extremely rare. Surgical excision is recommended for hemangiomas in adults, if they are symptomatic, or manifest growth. Materials and methods We report a rare case of a 51-year-old woman, with an intramuscular hemangioma of the tongue, presenting as a submental mass. Preoperative imaging for assessment of tumor extent was followed by a successful surgical excision. Results Postoperative course was uneventful with primary healing of the wound, and with no functional deficit of tongue function. Conclusion Although a variety of treatment approaches are reported for childhood hemangiomas, surgical excision is the preferred treatment for adult onset symptomatic hemangiomas. Preoperative work up should include imaging preferably with contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Embolization may be considered for larger lesions. Intraoperative hypotension should be avoided to ensure identification of the entire lesion to ensure complete excision. How to cite this article Petrovic I, Roman B, Shah JP.

Background Vascular anomalies are a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. They require dedicated interdisciplinary management. Optimal patient care relies on integral medical evaluation and a classification system established by experts in the field, to provide a better understanding of these complex vascular entities. Method A dedicated classification system according to the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies (ISSVA) and the German Interdisciplinary Society of Vascular Anomalies (DiGGefA) is presented. The vast spectrum of diagnostic modalities, ranging from ultrasound with color Doppler, conventional X-ray, CT with 4 D imaging and MRI as well as catheter angiography for appropriate assessment is discussed. Results Congenital vascular anomalies are comprised of vascular tumors, based on endothelial cell proliferation and vascular malformations with underlying mesenchymal and angiogenetic disorder. Vascular tumors tend to regress with patient’s age, vascular malformations increase in size and are subdivided into capillary, venous, lymphatic, arterio-venous and combined malformations, depending on their dominant vasculature. According to their appearance, venous malformations are the most common representative of vascular anomalies (70 %), followed by lymphatic malformations (12 %), arterio-venous malformations (8 %), combined malformation syndromes (6 %) and capillary malformations (4 %). Conclusion The aim is to provide an overview of the current classification system and diagnostic characterization of vascular anomalies in order to facilitate interdisciplinary management of vascular anomalies.

Most vascular birthmarks can be categorized, based on clinical and cellular criteria, as either (1) a hemangioma, or (2) a malformation, or (3) a macular stain. Macular stains are commonly seen in newborns, and they consist of faint vascular stains of the glabella, eyelids, and nuchal region called "nevus flammeus," "stork bite," "salmon patch," etc. Unfortunately, the term "hemangioma" is frequently applied to all three types of cutaneous vascular lesions. Usually, these disparate vascular anomalies are listed in association with various malformative syndromes and are generically labeled "hemangioma." This study attempts to define accurately the specific vascular anomalies seen in children born with syndromes with dysmorphic features. This review of five standard textbooks of genetics showed that the majority of vascular anomalies reported in syndromic newborns are not hemangiomas. Rather, they are macular stains, and the vast majority of these fade with time. Congenital telangiectasias and other vascular malformations (capillary, lymphatic, venous, arterial, and combinations thereof) also occur in association with dysmorphic syndromes. contrast, hemangioma, the most common neonatal tumor, is seen only incidentally with rare dysmorphic conditions. Specifically, hemangioma was found to occur only in association with midline (sternal, abdominal) clefting, right-sided aortic arch coarctation, and with a constellation of sacral and genitourinary defects.
