Vascular tumours and malformations are revealed at birth and do not subside. The aim of the study was to present the principles and outcomes of treatment of patients with arteriovenous malformations treated at the Clinic of Plastic Surgery in Polanica Zdrój in the years 2009- 2010. Only one patient, who had not been treated previously, had the lesion on the cheek removed subtotally and the defect was closed by means of local repair. In the remaining patients, with primary lesions located in the auricle, scalp, and cheeks, the indications for operation included recurrent infections, ulcerations, and first of all, massive, life-threatening haemorrhages. All the patients, treated for many years in other centres, had underwent numerous resection procedures, vessel ligations, embolizations and obliterations. The patients were followed up after the surgery every 6 months. The therapy aim was achieved in all the patients. Vascular tumours were removed totally or subtotally, the lost structures were reconstructed and permanent healing of the wound was achieved. None of the patients developed recurrence of the disease, infection, or bleeding.

Hemangiomas belong to one of the most common type of tumors occurring in childhood. They are benign and often do not require any treatment, with the tendency to. frequently disappearing spontaneously at the age of 5-7 years. The tumors usually develop in the head and neck area, whereas vascular malformations (AVMs) are rare congenital anomalies, which may occur anywhere. In upper limb, they may amount to 30-60% of cases. It is common for these changes not to require any surgical treatment. In case they do, the main indications for such treatment of upper limb AVMs may be as follows: signs of compression of the peripheral nerves, limited mobility of the fingers because of the tumor, which entails difficulties in the functioning of the whole arm, pain and aesthetic considerations. Aim of the study was to present the results of surgical treatment of vascular tumors (hemangiomas and AVMs) in the upper limb that was applied in our department, as well as a broader discussion on epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of these changes. Material and methods. In 2003-2011 period we treated 11 patients aged 24-39, suffering from vascular tumors (hemangiomas / vascular malformations) in the upper limb; the group included 3 men and 8 women. In this group we diagnosed 2 cases with arm hemangiomas, 2 cases of intramuscular hemangiomas of the forearm, 2 cases of hemangiomas in metacarpal area, 2 cases of AVMs of the finger and metacarpal area, and 4 cases of isolated vascular malformations (mainly arteriovenous malformations) of the fingers. All preparations were examined histologically. Results. No complications or recurrence were found in 7 cases, recurrences of AVMs were observed in 4 patients with finger changes. In one patient with AVMs of the index finger, we observed a treble recurrence, which severely impaired functioning of his hand. We eventually suggested to him the finger amputation, to which the patient agreed Conclusions. Upper extremity is a rare location of hemangiomas and other vascular malformations requiring surgery. hemangiomas are more common in women, and the occurrence of AVMs in both males and females is similar. Surgical treatment of hemangiomas and AVMs of the upper extremities is doubtlessly an arduous task, which calls for great microsurgical skills.

Cavernous hemangiomas(CM) are benignlesionsofthe hamartoma type.Their prevalence in the general population ranges from 0.4-0.8% and accounts for 15% of all vascular defects. CM incidence is estimated to be second only to developmental venous malformations taking. Most of CM have the characteristic of single changes. On CT changes may often not be visible, especially when accompanied by fresh bleeding. On MRI the lesion picture is characteristic due to the presence of hemosiderin break down products. CM are characterized by high variability over time. They can either increase or decrease rapidly, and rarely remain the same. Researchers speculate that microbleeding and recanalization after clot formation may be responsible for the rapid growth. CM are symptomatic in 40% of cases and may cause headaches, convulsions and neurological deficits. We present a case of a nearly 6-year-old boy who was first admitted to the Department of Child Neurology and Rehabilitation UDSK in Bialystok at 16-month of age due to the occurrence of the first focal seizures with impaired awareness. During the 5-year follow-up, epileptic seizures did not repeat. Treatment with valproic acid was continued. The multiplicity and/or localization of cerebral vessels malformations often make it impossible to undertake effective and safe causal surgical treatment. Epileptic seizures in a child with confirmed cerebrovascular malformation require antiepileptic treatment despite the questionable causal relationship between seizures and the anomaly.

Naczyniaki jamiste(CM) to łagodne zmiany o typie hamartoma. Rozpowszechnienie ich w populacji ogólnej waha się 0,4-0,8% i stanowi ok. 15% wszystkich wad naczyniowych. W częstości występowania szacuje się, że są drugie w kolejności po rozwojowych malformacjach żylnych. Większość ma charakter zmian pojedynczych. W badaniu tomografii komputerowej (CT) zmiany często mogą być nie widoczne, szczególnie gdy towarzyszą im świeże krwawienia. W badaniu rezonansu magnetycznego (MRI) obraz zmian nie jest charakterystyczny z powodu występowania produktów rozpadu hemosyderyny. Naczyniaki jamiste(CM) charakteryzują się dużą zmiennością w czasie. Mogą szybko się powiększać, bądź zmniejszać, rzadko pozostają bez zmian. Badacze przypuszczają, że za szybki wzrost mogą odpowiadać mikrokrwawienia i rekanalizacje po powstaniu zakrzepów. Naczyniaki jamiste w 40% przypadków są objawowe i mogą powodować występowanie bólów głowy, drgawek oraz ubytków neurologicznych. W pracy przedstawiamy przypadek niespełna 6 letniego chłopca, który po raz pierwszy trafił do Kliniki Neurologii i Rehabilitacji Dziecięcej UDSK w Białymstoku z powodu wystąpienia w 16 miesiącu życia pierwszego w życiu napadu drgawkowego o ogniskowym początku z zaburzeniami świadomości. W trakcie 5 letniej obserwacji napady padaczkowe nie powtarzały się. Utrzymano leczenie kwasem walproinowym. Mnogość i/lub lokalizacja malformacji naczyń mózgowych często uniemożliwiają podjęcie skutecznego i bezpiecznego przyczynowego leczenia zabiegowego. Napady padaczkowe u dziecka z potwierdzoną malformacją naczyń mózgowych wymagają włączenia leczenia przeciwpadaczkowego mimo dyskusyjnego związku przyczynowego napadów z anomalią.
