Most capillary malformations do not need treatment. If you and your child’s doctor elect treatment, there’s a good chance that treatment will be with a pulsed-dye laser. [chw.org]

Treatment of IH with laser is indicated in three cases: treatment of the proliferative phase, albeit not as a first option, treatment of ulcerated IH, and treatment of telangiectasias and residual textural alterations. [analesdepediatria.org]

Treatment for hemangiomas Treatment for hemangiomas depends on their size, location, and severity. Treatment is usually not recommended for small, noninvasive hemangiomas, since they will become smaller (involute) on their own. [stanfordchildrens.org]

If treatment is required for hemangiomas, it usually consists of a combination of local care (topical treatment) combined with systemic therapy, generally oral steroids. [birthmark.org]

Prognosis This is varied between patients and may be non-progressing (or slowly progressing) in some patients and rapidly progressing in others. There is a guarded visual prognosis. [patient.info]

Prognosis The primary factors determining final visual outcome in patients with Coats' disease are the presenting visual acuity, extent of retinal detachment and the extent of macular exudation. [reviewofophthalmology.com]

In 2018, it was theorized that proliferation of endothelial cells with dysfunctional tight junctions, that are under increased endothelial stress from elevated venous pressure provides the pathophysiological basis for cavernous hemangioma development. [en.wikipedia.org]

The rarity of the syndrome, the lack of a unifying pathophysiologic mechanism, and the marked variety of clinical and imaging manifestations all lead to potential controversy. [ajnr.org]

The identification of the underlying genetic mutations in AVMs is crucial to better understand the pathophysiologic mechanisms in AVM development, and to discover novel therapeutic targets. [deduveinstitute.be]

Vascular malformations are inborn errors of vascular embryogenesis present at birth that should be diagnosed in childhood and, when necessary, treated to prevent later complications. [actasdermo.org]

Treatment In general, the goals of hemangioma treatment are to prevent loss of life or function, and to prevent scarring, either before or as a result of therapy. [aafp.org]

Some hemangiomas―particularly those on the face or those that are very large―need treatment early to prevent them from interfering with body functions or causing permanent scars. [healthychildren.org]

Treatment in stage 3 and 4 disease is primarily aimed at anatomic correction of the retinal detachment, lowering of intraocular pressure and prevention of phthisis. [reviewofophthalmology.com]
