Congenital arteriovenous malformation is rare disease. Endovascular treatment is one of the important modality in the treatment of arteriovenous malformation. We report a successful treatment case of arteriovenous malformation with endovascular treatment.

The Chiari 1.5 malformation is defined as a tonsillar hemiation within a Chiari I malformation with additional caudal descent of the brainstem through the foramen magnum. We describe a patient with Chiari I malformation who evolved to Chiari 1.5 malformation during longitudinal follow-up. A 15-year-old girl presented with neck pain during exercise for two years. She had been diagnosed with Chiari I malformation with mild hydrocephalus after minor cervical trauma at the age of six years. At that time, she was asymptomatic. After she complained of aggravated neck pain, neuroimaging (nine years after first imaging) revealed caudal descent of the brainstem and syringomyelia in addition to progression of tonsillar hemiation. Posterior fossa decompressive surgery resulted in complete resolution of neck pain. Based on neuroimaging and operative findings, she was diagnosed as Chiari 1.5 malformation. Neuroimaging performed seven months after surgery showed an increased anterior-posterior diameter of the medulla oblongata and markedly decreased syringomyelia. This case demonstrates progressive developmental process of the Chiari 1.5 malformation as an advanced form of the Chiari I malformation.

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation(PAVM) is an uncommon congenital anomaly. As pulmonary arteriovenous malformation is a direct communication between the branches of pulmonary artery and vein which originated from the malformation of capillary development, major disturbances in gas exchange can result. This malformation results in the several symptoms such as dyspnea, hemopyssis, cyanosis, and severe neurologic complaints. However, the most of patients are usually asymptomatic. Selective pulmonary angiography is well known the helpful diagnostic method. Recently, therapeutic embolization has been advocated as the treatment of choice for pulmonary arteriovenous malformations. We report a case of multiple pulmonary arteriovenous malformation, which was detected on the simple chest X-ray and successfully treated with coil embolization in a 19-year-old asymptomatic woman.

Perioperative lumbar drainage of cerebrospinal fluid is commonly used in neurosurgical practice. However, the relationship between lumbar drainage and acquired Chiari malformation is not well established. The authors present an unusual case of paraplegia as a result of acquired Chiari malformation after lumbar drainage. Acquired Chiari malformation can induce compression of cervicomedullary junction and syrinx formation. Foramen magnum decompression is recommended for the solution of such problems.

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation[CCAM of the lung is extremely rare. We have experienced an unusual case of congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation. The patient was 20-year-old male and had chest pain for 10 days. On simple chest x-ray and Thoracic CT scan, there was a large cystic mass surrounded with multiloculated round cysts with air fluid level on the right lower lobe of a lung. Right lower lobectomy was performed and the pathologic result was congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation.

Arteriovenous malformation (A-V malformation) is defined as an abnormal connection between arteries and veins that lead to A-V shunting with an intervening network of vessels. A-V malformation is a rare condition, and spontaneous regression is also rare. A-V malformation becomes symptomatic when the surrounding tissue and osseous structures are negatively affected. A-V malformation has a high recurrence rate and is relatively hard to treat. In this case, a huge mass with pulsatile and bruit on the medial plantar area were observed. With the diagnosis of A-V malformation in accordance with the results from ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography angiography, and mass excision with feeding vessel ligation through plantar midfoot approach was completed successfully.

Capillary malformation is common vascular malformation. In case of facial capillary malformation, patients' cosmetic and functional deficits are quite significant. The standard treatment which has been applied so far for capillary malformation is pulsed dye laser with 585nm. But in case of advanced capillary malformation, surgical interventions are inevitable. The problem of large size facial capillary malformation is how to cover the remnant defect, which occurs after resection. In this case, authors have experienced surgical treatment of large size facial capillary malformation and covered the large facial defect with free thoracodorsal artery perforator flap. The flap was thick, so facial asymmetry remained after the first surgery. But with the secondary procedure, authors have made more symmetric figures. The patient was satisfied with the result. Using free flap to replace the defect after resection due to capillary malformation is useful for these kinds of cases.

Venous malformations arising from the peripheral nerve are a rare type of vascular malformation. We present the first case of an intraneural venous malformation of the median nerve to be reported in a child and review the previous two cases of median nerve compression due to a venous malformation that have been reported. These cases presented with painless masses in the volar aspect of the wrist or with symptoms suggestive of carpal tunnel syndrome. Clinical suspicion should lead to the use of Doppler ultrasonography as the first-line diagnostic tool. Magnetic resonance imaging and histopathology can confirm the diagnosis, as phleboliths are pathognomonic of venous malformations. Surgical treatment appears to be the only modality capable of successfully controlling the growth of an intraneural malformation. Sclerotherapy and radiotherapy have never been used to treat this type of malformation.

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.
