Superficial arteriovenous malformations are rare fast-flow lesions. They consist of arteriovenous shunts, without cellular hyperplasia or proliferation, which develop in the surrounding tissues (cutaneous, subcutaneous, muscular, bone). Although benign, they are among the most severe of superficial malformations. Their evolution can be life-threatening in exceptional cases. With the aim of optimizing diagnosis and management worldwide, this protocol offers a state of the art for the diagnosis and management of these diseases. To this end, the French healthcare network specialized in these diseases have drawn on literature data and experience. Developed from the French National Diagnosis and Care Protocol, it presents the patient journeys for initial and differential diagnoses, and personalized therapeutic strategies. This requires a multidisciplinary team, with specialized professionals in handling genetic, treatment and psychosocial issues.

Background: Pregnancy-associated atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a form of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) caused by uncontrolled activation of the complement system during pregnancy or the postpartum period. In the intensive care unit, aHUS must be differentiated from sepsis-related multiple organ dysfunction, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet (HELLP) syndrome. Early recognition of aHUS is critical for effective treatment and improved prognosis.
