[Interdisciplinary management of extracranial vascular anomalies]. / Interdisziplinäres Management extrakranieller Gefäßanomalien.

BACKGROUND: A multitude of vascular anomalies exist and can lead to severe complications. Treatment can be complex. OBJECTIVE: This overview aims to provide important information for the management of vascular anomalies. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In addition to current literature, experiences from the interdisciplinary Vascular Anomalies Center in Marburg were included in this review. RESULTS: Hemangiomas at critical sites, arteriovenous malformations, and vascular anomalies of uncertain etiology require particular attention. CONCLUSION: Self-help and support groups, specialized interdisciplinary centers, scientific medical societies, and networks can provide help for the treatment of vascular anomalies.
