Acroangiodermatitis is a group of benign, angioproliferative cutaneous disease caused by chronic venous insufficiency, acquired or congenital arteriovenous shunts and limb paralysis. Stewart-Bluefarb syndrome is the type of acroangiodermatitis which is associated with a congenital arteriovenous malformation. This is a rare syndrome characterized by cutaneous kaposiform lesions that usually onset at the second decade. In this report, a case of acroangiodermatitis associated with a congenital arteriovenous malformation, which has been diagnosed after 40 years, is described.

Vascular anomalies are broadly classified into 2 categories: vascular tumors and vascular malformations. Vascular anomalies frequently present as cutaneous lesions in infants. This review summarizes vascular anomalies that most commonly present as dermatologic lesions in the neonatal period, with a focus on the clinical findings, pathophysiology and histology, relevant radiographic findings, and management of common vascular anomalies such as infantile hemangiomas, congenital hemangiomas, and Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma, along with vascular malformations, including capillary, lymphatic, venous, and arteriovenous malformations.

Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in the head and neck present significant challenges due to airway management complexities and hemorrhage risks. This case report describes a 15-year-old female with a congenital facial AVM causing dyspnea and obstructive symptoms. The patient required angioembolization of the AVM, but many hospitals deferred the procedure due to the anticipated difficult airway and severe bleeding risks.

Iliac vein aneurysms are a relatively rare clinical medical case requiring careful management. In general, vessel aneurysms are always an intriguing entity to approach due to the various options for diagnosis and treatment, which are heavily dependent on the unique characteristics of the condition. Such features include etiology, location, and coexistence with other abnormalities.

BACKGROUND Arterioportal fistulas (APFs) are abnormal connections between the arterial and portal venous systems, leading to portal hypertension (PH) and symptoms such as gastrointestinal bleeding, splenomegaly, and hepatic pain. Symptoms typically appear by the age of 2 years in about 75% of cases. CASE REPORT A 7-year-old boy with an asymptomatic APF developed life-threatening complications following a Clostridium difficile infection.

Arteriovenous malformation (AVM, arteriovenous dysplasia) is one of the variants of congenital vascular defects formed as a result of a defect in the development of the arterial and venous systems during ontogenesis with the formation of direct messages between vessels of different diameters. In this regard, high-speed shunting of blood from the arterial part of the vascular system to the venous through fistulas of various calibers occurs. This disease is characterized by a variety of clinical manifestations.
