Large Venous Malformations in the Neck -

Are they curable with the available therapies?


Open surgeries, endovascular therapies and other plastic surgical procedures?


Large Venous malformations in the Head neck region are associated with complex hemodynamics and anatomy. Imaging these lesions adequately is difficult and planning interventions in multiple stages may be expensive and tiring to the family and providers. In addition the procedures are associated with hidden complications. Probably one would like to hear about the possibility of genetic therapies for such large lesions with intra thoracic ramifications and communications with other large veins in the head and neck region.
