[Interdisciplinary management of extracranial vascular anomalies].

BACKGROUND

A multitude of vascular anomalies exist and can lead to severe complications. Treatment can be complex.

OBJECTIVE

This overview aims to provide important information for the management of vascular anomalies.

MATERIALS AND

METHODS

In addition to current literature, experiences from the interdisciplinary Vascular Anomalies Center in Marburg were included in this review.

RESULTS

Hemangiomas at critical sites, arteriovenous malformations, and vascular anomalies of uncertain etiology require particular attention.

CONCLUSION

Self-help and support groups, specialized interdisciplinary centers, scientific medical societies, and networks can provide help for the treatment of vascular anomalies.
