Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome (KTS) is a rare congenital malformation syndrome involving blood and lymph vessels, which is characterized by triad of cutaneous hemangioma, venous varicosities, and overgrowth of the affected limbs. Because vascular malformation in KTS can be located anywhere except the face and brain, the clinical presentation could be extremely variable. But there are only rare case reports that KTS is associated with spinal cord lesion. We report a case of recurrent myelopathy in a patient with KTS.

We describe a case of venous malformation of pyriform sinus in 63 year-old patient, discovered incidentally. Venous malformation are the most common vascular malformations to arise in the head and neck. However venous malformation of the hypopharynx in the adult papulation are rare. The author performed successfully ethanol sclerotherapy for venous malformation of pyriform sinus, so we present the case with a review of the related literatures.

The present case illustrates an arteriovenous malformation of the cheek in a 25-year-old male. The clinical presentation. radiographic findings, differential diagnosis, treatment and histopathologic description are presented. Diagnosis of the lesion was confirmed by angiography, and the lesion was treated by angiographically controlled vascular embolization followed by complete surgical excision.

Intraspinal cavernous malformation (CM) accounts for 5% to 16% of all spinal vascular abnormalities. Multiple spinal cord CMs are very rare and only a few cases have been described. We report a patient presented with right chest paresthesia and seizure, and diagnosed as multiple spinal intramedullary CM and intracranial involvement.

The congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung is a rare disease, and is one of the most common congenital lung diseases which require prompt surgical intervention. The prognosis depends on its tissue type, prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention. The lesion consists of enlarged, variable sized multiple cyst with overgrowth of terminal bronchioles, like hamartoma. This disease can be associated with other vascular anomalies or other congenital defect especially in type II lesion We recently experienced one case of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation The patient was 2 months old infant who showed respiratory distress without associated anomaly. After right upper lobe lobectomy, the patient was recovered uneventfully.

Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula is a congenital vascular malformation In the lung, various synonyms including Pulmonary cavernous vascular malformation, Pulmonary arteriovenous aneurysm, Cavernous hemangioma of the lung0 Pulmonary telangiectasia, Pulmonary hamartoma, etc. The pathogenesis of its symptoms is that unoxygenated, desaturated arterial blood enters into the pulmonary venous system directly. Recently we have experienced one case of the pulmonary arteriovenous fistula which was diagnosed as the pulmonary cystic lesion of the lung preoperatively in 20 years old, 61 kg, male patient. Operation was revealed well circumscribed cystic lesion filled with blood, subpleural and anterior mediobasal location, and bright red colored aspirates on two times needle aspirations. Microscopic finding shows ill circumscribed vascular lesion composed of varying sized blood vessels with irregular thickening of wall and final pathological diagnosis is Pulmonary Arteriovenous Fistula. Basal segmentectomy was done and the patient shows good postoperative course.

Cavernous malformations (CMs) arising from the optic nerve and chiasm are extremely rare. The authors present a case of 39-year-old woman with CMs of the optic chiasm. She was referred due to sudden onset of bitemporal hemianopsia and headache, the so-called 'chiasmal apoplexy'. MRI findings suggested a diagnosis of hemorrhage and vascular malformation of the optic chiasm. Pterional craniotomy revealed an intrachiasmatic cavemous malformation with hemorrhage. The malformation was totally excised, but field deficits remained unchanged after surgery.

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) is a rare pulmonary vascular anomaly due to an abnormal communication between the pulmonary artery and vein. The most common presenting symptom is a dyspnea on exertion related to this right-to-left shunt. If left untreated, PAVM has been known to result in serious complications. Incomplete pulmonary capillary network can be the cause of cerebral abscesses and other noninfectious neurological complications, such as stroke and transient ischemic attacks due to paradoxic embolism Transcatheter embolotherapy, using coils or balloons, has replaced surgical resection as the treatment of choice for PAVM. However, the risk of device embolization has limited the use of coil embolotherapy, while the size of PAVM is huge. Recently, Amplatzer$^{(R)}$ Vascular Plug has been proposed as an alternative endovascular occlusion device for arteriovenous malformation. We report a case of 81-year-old male patient with a giant PAVM, which was successfully treated by transcatheter embolotherapy using the Amplatzer$^{(R)}$ Vascular Plug.
