Vascular malformations (VMs) are dysplastic abnormalities of vascular channels, differing from vascular tumors by their slow growth. Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) arise between weeks 4-10 of intrauterine life, with a prevalence of 1 in 100,000 among Caucasians. Common in the head, neck, and hands, AVMs may be asymptomatic or cause symptoms like pain, deformity, and disability.
