Vascular Malformation Flashcards
What are the four orbital disorders of vascular malformation?
(LVAA)
Lymphatic Malformations
Venous Malformations of the orbit
Arteriovenous Malformation
Arteriovenous Fistulas
also known as lymphangiomas
Lymphatic Malformations
multi-cystic, localized malformations that involves the lymphatic and vascular system
Lymphatic Malformations
cause of Lymphatic Malformations
-lymph vessels form abnormally
-which leads to aberrant development and congenital malformation
True or False: Lymphatic Malformations, in the orbit, usually become apparent in the second and third decade of life
False; become apparent in the FIRST and SECOND decade of life
Common affected locations of Lymphatic Malformations:
(CEOSH)
Conjunctiva
Eyelids
Oropharynx
Sinuses
Head and neck region
Management of Lymphatic Malformations:
(OISS)
-Observation
-Intralesional sclerosant injection
-Systemic medications
-surgery
In managing lymphatic malformations, observation is applicable to those:
-who do not have vision threatening symptoms
-severe physical disfigurement
in managing lymphatic malformations it reduces the size of the cyst and lesion
intralesional sclerosant injection
management of lymphatic malformations that prevent cell growth and proliferation
systemic medication

Surgery: Surgical debulking or ___________
excision
