Vascular Anomalies Flashcards
Vascular malformations are present after birth
F Vascular malformations are present at birth
Sclerotherapy is one potential intervention for venous and
lymphatic malformations.
T
Hemangiomas are the most common tumor of infancy
T Hemangiomas are the most common tumor of infancy and occur
at a rate of 11 in 10 infants
Hemangiomas present at birth
not present at birth
and are commonly visualized at approximately 2 weeks after birth
These tumors are more common in females (3:1) and Caucasians (1
in 10) with the most common location occurring in the head and
neck region
T
Infantile hemangiomas can be diagnosed with urine test?
Infantile hemangiomas are positive for glucose transporter 1 (GLUT-I) on biopsy of the lesion as well as within the urine
Imaging play an important role in hemangioma diagnoses
F. imaging is not commonly required.
The pulsed dye laser reducing bleeding from the site of haemangioma
T. the pulsed dye laser to lighten the color of the hemangioma and improve skin texture while reducing bleeding from the site
What the doses of predinsilon and for how long is given?
2-3mg /kg /day. For 4-6 week in proliferate phase
The initial response of steroid start in 1-2 week of therapy
T
The intial responce to systemic steriod in haemangioma start after 1-2 week
T
Intralesional corticosteroid vs systemic steriod
Intralesional corticosteroid delivery is another method of drug administration that has lower risks of systemic side effects, but similar potential to prevent further growth and induce tumor regression.
topical corticosteroid application is also effective in hemangioma
F. Although injectable steroid is known to be effective, topical corticosteroid application is ineffective.
Beta blocker in mor effective than steriod
F. it remains unclear whether beta blockers are more or less effective than steroids
Topical beta blockers such as timolol are also effective
T
Beta blockers, most commonly propranolol,
are administered at a dose of2 mg/kg/d and are most effective when
initiated during the proliferative phase
T
Responce to nterferon alpha-2A considred very fast in haemngioma
F. response is usually seen within 6 to 10 months
Beta blockers have a role . for Kasabach-Merritt syndrome.
F. Interferon alpha-2A is indicated for Kasabach-Merritt syndrome.
vincristine has preferable side effect
F. . As this is a chemotherapeutic agent, side effects include peripheral neuropathy, infections, and hair loss. Although the response rate is thought to approach over 80%, patients are required to have a central line for administration
Interferon alpha-2A is considered a second-line treatment At a subcutaneous dose of 2 to 3 mU/
m2
T
Haemangioma lesions may remain highly vascular even in the resolution phase
T
congenital hemangiomas are negative for GLUT-I, whereas infantile hemangiomas are positive.
T
agents used to treat hemangiomas including beta blockers and steroids are usually can be use in haemangioendothiloma
F. agents used to treat hemangiomas including beta blockers and steroids are usually ineffective for this indication. Vincrstin only
the main goal of care. Hemangioendotheliomas is surgical excision
F. necessitating symptomatic management as the main goal of care.
Hemangioendotheliomas can present at birth and post nataly
T
Hemangioendotheliomas mor common in female
F. are equally common in males and females
platelet transfusions may exacerbate swelling so should be avoided unless indicated for uncontrolled bleeding in this circumstance. In haemangioendothilioma
