Vascular malformations are abnormal formations of blood vessels that occur during fetal development. They can be classified into several subtypes, including:

• Capillary malformations: Also known as port-wine stains, these are flat, red or purple birthmarks that occur on the face or other parts of the body.


• Venous malformations: These are made up of abnormal veins and can cause swelling and pain.


• Arteriovenous malformations: These are made up of abnormal connections between arteries and veins and can cause pain, bleeding, and other complications.


• Lymphatic malformations: These are made up of abnormal lymphatic vessels and can cause swelling and fluid accumulation.

Diagnosis of Vascular Anomalies

To diagnose vascular anomalies, our team at Dr. Subhash Center for Plastic Surgery in Kakinada will perform a comprehensive evaluation, including:

• Physical examination: Our surgeon will examine the affected area and check for any signs of a vascular anomaly.


• Imaging tests: We may perform imaging tests, such as ultrasound, MRI, or CT scans, to get a better look at the affected area and determine the type and extent of the anomaly.


• Biopsy: In some cases, we may perform a biopsy to collect a sample of tissue for further testing.

Treatment Options for Vascular Anomalies

At Dr. Subhash Center for Plastic Surgery in Kakinada, we offer a range of treatment options for vascular anomalies, including:

• Observation: In some cases, we may recommend simply monitoring the anomaly to see if it changes over time.


• Medical management: We may prescribe medication to help alleviate symptoms, such as pain or swelling.


• Surgery: We may perform surgery to remove the anomaly or repair any associated complications, such as bleeding or nerve compression.


• Laser therapy: We may use laser therapy to treat superficial vascular anomalies, such as port-wine stains.


• Embolization: We may perform embolization to block the blood supply to the anomaly, which can help reduce symptoms and prevent bleeding.
