Soft-Tissue Venous Malformations in Pediatric and Young Adult Patients: Diagnosis with Doppler US

Abstract

In pediatric patients, Doppler US is a noninvasive, easily available, and rapid mode of investigation of vascular lesions and can help confirm the diagnosis of VM when it shows a characteristic flow pattern.

Usefulness of color doppler sonography and 99mTc‐RBC scintigraphy for preoperative diagnosis of a venous malformation of the small intestine in a 2‐year‐old child

“…The role of color Doppler sonography for the diagnosis of soft tissue venous malformations has also been reported. [9][10][11] To our knowledge, however, color Doppler sonography of venous malformations of the small intestine has not been reported. We report such a case in a pediatric patient in which the combination of color Doppler sonography and 99m Tc-RBC scintigraphy contributed significantly to the preoperative diagnosis.…”

“…In addition to this, complete evaluation of lateral marginal vein is performed as well. On duplex ultrasonography venous malformations demonstrate monophasic, biphasic and no detectable flow in 78%, 6% and 16% of cases, respectively 48 .…”

Multiple Low Flow Vascular Malformation with Phleboliths – A Case Report

“…19 MRI is most useful for defining the extent of the disease. Angiography is also a useful modality for defining extent of disease, especially when identifying deep or small VMs, such as intracranial sinus pericranii or gastrointestinal VM.…”
