title: Management of venous malformations.
abstract: Venous malformation results from an error in vascular morphogenesis. Although this condition is present at birth, it may not become evident until childhood or adolescence when it has grown large enough to cause a visible deformity or symptoms. This article discusses the types, diagnosis, and the nonoperative and operative management of venous malformations.
