Patient's question:
Baby is two months old. Swelling in the left arm was found through MRI, and it was diagnosed as a vascular malformation. Hearing this news, the whole family couldn't eat or sleep well and didn't know what to do. Experts and doctors, how should this be treated? Is the consequences serious?Doctor's answer:
Angiomas are caused by vascular developmental abnormalities during the embryonic period. Due to various reasons, at different stages of vascular formation, abnormal growth and development or changes in ancient vascular unions can lead to the recurrence of vascular anomalies, thereby forming angiomas. The treatment methods for angiomas mainly include surgical treatment, laser treatment, medication, and radiation therapy. However, for children with weak bodies, both surgical treatment and radiation therapy can cause severe interference. Surgical removal not only leaves scars but also increases the risk of complications; radiation therapy harms children's immune systems. Therefore, experts advise parents to be extremely cautious when deciding on a treatment method for their children.
