title: [Superficial venous malformations].
abstract: Mature vascular malformations of the venous compartment are haemodynamically inactive and persist throughout the patient's life. They have no systemic repercussions, except in patients with disorders of coagulation (e.g. disseminated intravascular coagulation), but they have local, cosmetic and functional repercussions. Percutaneous embolization, notably with Ethibloc, has modified their prognosis favourably. This simple and effective procedure is mainly used for superficial venous malformations of the face.
