Evidence Based Management Of Head And Neck Vascular Anomalies

This text addresses vascular anomalies and the management of these diverse and clinically challenging set of conditions which have significant impact on patient function, quality of life and, in certain cases, survival. The text covers each category and type of vascular anomaly and the unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges they pose. The chapters will also include fundamental scientific literature pertaining to each specific condition to help clinicians and clinical researchers better assess and manage vascular anomalies of the head and neck. Each vascular condition will be supported with medical photographs and radiographic images, summaries of diagnostic and therapeutic options, a list of syndromes and genetic mutations known to be associated with each anomaly, case studies, and clinical and research pearls from national and international leaders in the field. Management of Head and Neck Vascular Anomalies: Evidenced-based Assessment will be an invaluable resource for otolaryngologists, plastic surgeons, general and general pediatric surgeons, orthopaedic surgeons, dermatologists, interventional radiologists, residents and fellows in these fields, and researchers with interest in vascular anomalies of the head and neck.

Head and Neck Vascular Anomalies: A Practical Case-Based Approach is a useful guide to the management of lesions caused by vascular anomalies, providing specific treatment algorithms for their management. This book offers consistent and straightforward techniques to the more frequently encountered and some of the more difficult vascular anomalies. Coming from the world-renowned vascular anomalies center at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, known for its clinical expertise and multi-disciplinary approach, editors Dr. Suen and Dr. Richter have over 40 years combined experience in treating these lesions. With contributed chapters from international leaders in the field, the editors present a practical guide, based upon clinical and scientific evidence, on the approach to diagnosis and management to each vascular anomaly based upon type, extent and location. The book provides a case-based approach to simple and complex lesions. Initial steps for diagnosis followed by a recommended treatment approach is presented with photographs, imaging and step-by-step illustrations to surgical or alternative therapies. All presented information is based upon current literature, providing a timeless and seamless algorithm to each lesion. Each case begins with a diagnostic approach, followed by next best steps to imaging treatment and follow up. This case-based approach is a wonderful quick resource for those physicians in a variety of specialties making clinical decisions. With the increasing number of vascular anomaly centers, and physicians participating in the care of these patients along with the recent advancements and consistency in managing these patients, the timing for this text is ideal.

Since the first edition of this book was published, much new knowledge has been gained on hemangiomas and vascular malformations. This revised and updated second edition, written by worldwide leaders in the field, fully reflects this progress. Important improvements in the treatment of hemangiomas are reviewed, including the use of beta-blockers and other medical therapies as well as advances in interventional treatments and the treatment of hemangiomas in specific locations. Vascular malformations are being investigated with increasing frequency all over the world and new challenges are emerging regarding both diagnosis and treatment. This edition considers the current role of the full range of diagnostic imaging techniques –magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography, nuclear medicine techniques, angiography, and phlebography. The various treatment options, including laser, interventional radiological, and surgical techniques, are then presented in detail. A further individual section is devoted to the study and treatment of lymphatic malformations and dysplasias, and a series of chapters also focus on problems in the treatment of malformations in particular locations, including the thorax and viscera. This book, in atlas format, is exceptional in providing clinically relevant information on the diagnosis and treatment of both hemangiomas and vascular malformations. It will appeal to all professionals who encounter these conditions in their daily clinical practice.
