NB: We prefer the term "vascular dysplasias" for "vascular malformations" because of the risk of confusion with the malformations of vessels (vascular malformations).
Types
capillary malformations
- cerebral capillary malformation
- cutaneous capillary malformation ("port-wine stain")
venous malformations
arteriovenous malformations(arteriovenous fistula)
glomus tumors and glomuvenous malformations

intramuscular vascular malformations
