Vascular malformations are rare with some types found in less than 1 percent of the population. If you have one, chances are it developed before you were born. Many types of vascular malformations don’t cause symptoms until they are triggered by such events as adolescence, pregnancy, or some major surgery, trauma or injury. Vascular malformations are a result of the abnormal growth and development of a single type of vessel or a combination of vessels. Over the years, malformations can grow larger and become problematic depending on what type(s) of vessel is involved. They can be harmless and minor or very serious, sometimes even life-threatening. Until recently, medical experts had an insufficient and sometimes haphazard lexicon to describe vascular anomalies, and that resulted in poor communication among doctors and patients alike. While this has largely changed, many people still visit multiple doctors as they seek an accurate diagnosis.
