15.6 Clinical Picture ofEdema inCVM
In venous malformations, swelling may have different aspects. The classical edema that involves foot, ankle, and sometimes also the calf is often visible. However, because of great variability inlocation of dysplastic tissue, sometimes swelling may be seen mainly in a part of the foot rather than in the whole distal extremity (Fig.15.19).
Another cause of swollen appearance of a limb in CVM is a “false edema,” not due to uid stasis, but because of other causes:
– Subcutaneous fat overgrowth in the site of the malformation. This condition
increases volume of the involved area but is not due to edema. New data demon-
strate that it may be related to gene mutations, like PIK3Ca [16, 17] (Fig.15.20).
– Intramuscular CVM with enlargement of the involved muscle. The most com-
mon cause is venous malformation; lymphatic and also AVM are possible.

Fig. 15.17 Patient with a combined truncular lymphatic (absence of the deep lymphatics) and venous extratruncular malformations. Supercial nevus, dilated abnormal veins, and limb overgrowth. This case can be dened as “Klippel­Trenaunay syndrome” (KTS). Diagnosis of KTS is often not correct, as the syndrome requires a combination of malformations (venous and lymphatic) and not AVM.The term “Klippel-Trenaunay­Weber” is also incorrect because it is a mixture between KTS (without AVM) and Parkes Weber syndrome (with AVM). The incorrect terminology is often the cause of confusion

intramuscular inltration of brofatty tissue, together with venous anomalies
and muscle contraction may also create limb enlargement and simulate true
edema [18] (Fig.15.21).
15.7 Diagnosis
Clinical examination is the rst step. Location of edema and extension on the foot and on the calf should be noticed. Effect of compression of the swollen part is help­ful to distinguish true edema (compressible subcutaneous uid) (Fig.15.22), from limb enlargement due to subcutaneous dilated vessels (Fig.15.23) (compressible but slowly lling again- venous; pulsating and quickly lling again- arteriovenous) or dysplastic masses. Lymphatic extratruncular malformations are normally not compressible (Fig. 15.11). Venous extratruncular malformations may be easily compressible and ll out slowly. Abnormal located supercial veins, cutaneous nevus, limb enlargement, and limb length discrepancy are all signs of vascular mal­formations. Abnormal supercial masses, pulsating or not, are also signs that should orient on a vascular defect.

The second step of diagnosis is color Doppler examination. This exam is as much effective as the examiner has experience in CVM and knows what can be found. A standard color Doppler investigation is currently an incomplete test. Deep and supercial veins, their caliber and ow, as well as arterial ow should be studied. Aplasia or hypoplasia should be investigated (Fig.15.24). Existence of a marginal vein is a mandatory step in a case with a clinical picture that suggests a venous malformation. Search of intramuscular vascular masses is also necessary. The quan­tity of non-vascular tissue (relation tissue/vessels) is useful for the correct treat­ment: in case of a high non-vascular tissue component of a dysplastic mass, sclerotherapy is ineffective (Fig.15.25). High ow areas (AVM) should be recog­nized as well as no ow vascular tissue (lymphatic).
The next step is to choose an imaging investigation and that should be guided by the result of the Duplex scan test. In case of low ow (venous) or no ow (lym­phatic) data, MR is the best test (Fig.15.26 a, b). Contrast media is not necessary in venous and lymphatic defects as a high-quality exam will demonstrate all necessary

data about the location and extension of the malformation [19]. In case of high ow signal (AVM), MR with contrast media or also Angio-MR is the best test. Angio-CT with 3D images can also be useful (Figs.15.27 and 15.28).
Angiography is no more a rst option diagnostic test, as MR and CT offers excel­lent results. It should be reserved only to AVM in an intention to treat procedure, after diagnostic process has been completed [20]. There is no indication for angiog­raphy in venous and lymphatic malformations [2].

In case of whole swollen limb or in case of diffuse extended venous malforma­tion, a lymphoscintigraphy should be performed. However, rather than a standard outow test, a morphologic study of the main, supercial, and deep lymphatic trunks should be done. This test will demonstrate anomalies of the main lymphatic trunks or in lymph nodes [21] (Fig.15.29 a, b).

15.8 Treatment
Vascular malformations are considered a difcult issue for treatment. However, often the difculty is due to an incomplete or absent diagnostic procedure because of lack of knowledge and experience in the management of CVM.If the vascular defect has been correctly recognized, the choice of the best treatment will be much more easier [22]. Detailed discussion of the single technique is beyond the scope of this chapter; an overview of it will be given here.
Elastic compression can be the rst choice in slight forms without symptoms. However, as the disease has the tendency to progress, regular controls should be performed [23].
Venous hypoplasia with supercial dilated veins can be treated successfully by surgery, as deep veins are able to dilate after removal of the supercial veins. That happens because supercial veins act as a functional bypass: if removed, blood ow is forced again to ow through deep veins which dilate spontaneously. This
