“…Patients eventually suffer from joint dislocation and necrosis in the extremities due to vascular entrapment [13]. AVM increase the risk of pulmonary embolism [16][17][18] and if located in the paraspinal region may result in spinal cord compression [12]. Our patient had progressive lower extremities weakness and neurogenic bladder due a large AVM tethering the spinal cord.…”

“…CLOVES syndrome is rare, often misdiagnosed and difficult to manage. Patients eventually require procedures like debulking [13,14], amputations [13][14][15], resection of lipomas [14,16], spinal fixations [16] and AVM embolizations [12,14]. Definitive guidelines for management of this syndrome are still lacking [14].…”

“…The patient lacks thoracic asymmetry and upper truncal overgrowth, and MRI imaging from head to toe found no evidence of vascular anomalies larger than 5 mm in size. Further screening for vascular anomalies has been recommended for patients with CLOVES syndrome [Sapp et al, 2007;Alomari et al, 2010]. Surgical debulking of the intra-abdominal tissue has not been attempted because regrowth is thought likely to occur [Rasmussen et al, 2014].…”

“…Хірургічне втручання має на меті полегшити перебіг захворювання та запобігти його прогресуванню. Плануючи оперативне втру-чання слід памʼятати, що аномальні розширені вени у пацієнтів CLOVES є передумовою високого ризику тромбоемболічних ускладнень, в тому числі й тромбоемболії гілок легеневої артерії [6].Після визначення характеру уражень необ-хідно скласти план хірургічних втручань, оскільки будуть необхідні численні операції. Протягом росту дитини деформації та надмірний ріст мо-жуть погіршуватися, що потребуватиме повтор-них операцій.…”
