title: The surgical management of vasoproliferative tumours.
abstract: Vasoproliferative tumours consist of glial and vascular proliferations, most commonly found in the inferotemporal quadrant. The need for surgery arises when there is diagnostic uncertainty or sight-threatening complications are present. A variety of surgical techniques have been used in the management of vasoproliferative tumours and are discussed in this review.
