Diagnostic Algorithm for Superficial Venous Malformations in Newborns

Diagnostic Algorithm for Superficial Venous Malformations in Newborns

Superficial venous malformations can be clinically diagnosed since birth as localized, bluish or purple lesions, especially on the lower extremity, but deep venous malformations are difficult to diagnose only by clinical appearance. The diagnostic algorithm for superficial venous malformations in ne...
