Arteriovenous haemangiomas within the chest are rare and uncommonly documented. After a 60-year-old woman with a history of smoking underwent a routine chest X-ray revealing a right apical mass, further investigations led to the discovery of a large extrapulmonary arteriovenous haemangioma in the superior mediastinum. Additionally, this case became complicated when the hemangioma was found to not only be compressing adjacent major arteries and veins, but also invading into the spinal canal and displacing the spinal cord. With multidisciplinary planning, the arteriovenous haemangioma was embolised and successfully resected. Thus, we present a case of an arteriovenous haemangioma in the superior mediastinum and discuss the importance of the case.

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.

Background: Lung transplantation is a viable lifesaving option for patients with diffuse pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). We present a case of diffuse pulmonary AVMs associated with juvenile polyposis and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (JP-HHT) that was successfully managed by lung transplantation.
Case Presentation: A 19-year-old woman developed severe hypoxemia due to pulmonary AVMs diagnosed at 4 years of age.

Introduction: Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital condition characterized by vascular malformations, bone abnormalities, and limb overgrowth. The genetic basis of KTS is not fully understood, and the diagnosis relies on clinical features. Its clinical spectrum includes several neurosurgical diagnoses, such as cavernous hemangiomas, arteriovenous fistulas, and Chiari I malformation.

Article Synopsis
- A case study discusses the treatment of unilateral macular edema in a 16-year-old boy with Wyburn-Mason syndrome, using Bevacizumab and Aflibercept.
- After an initial treatment with Bevacizumab proved ineffective, the patient showed significant improvement with Aflibercept after three monthly injections.
- The study suggests that Aflibercept may be a safe and effective alternative for managing macular edema resulting from retinal arteriovenous malformations.

Purpose: To describe a case of Wyburn-Mason syndrome in a young child with initially declined treatment leading to delayed intervention.
Methodology: Case report.
Results: We report a 6-year-old boy with mild periocular trauma following a fall, who was incidentally found to have a retinal arteriovenous malformation (AVM) associated with a brain AVM, indicative of Wyburn-Mason Syndrome.
