Congenital angiodysplasia of the superficial venous system (SVS) of the lower extremities was diagnosed in 24 children 3-15 years of age. Nine patients presented with painful swelling in the affected limb. Venectasia and spongy venous masses were the main morphologic changes in the current series. Selective ascending functional phlebography and superficial phlebography were used to assess the anatomic extension of the lesions and to evaluate the functional status of the involved extremity: 14 patients had only SVS angiodysplasia, in 10 patients additional pathologic features of the deep veins (DV) were found. Venous reflux was demonstrated in 16 patients and significant venous insufficiency was detected in five patients. The patients were classified into three groups according to the severity of the disease: mild (11 patients), moderate (8 patients), and severe (5 patients). The prognostic and the long-term outcome of surgical treatment can be predicted by the depth and the extension of the angiodysplastic lesions.
