Villous Vienna

Dear readers, today I want to tell you about a rare vascular development abnormality called villous vein. This developmental anomaly gets its name precisely because it results in a high risk of villous tumors - polyps and cysts - in hollow organs such as the stomach or intestines.

In general, the villous vein is an extension of the vessel, having larger dimensions and additional vessels. This anomaly is often accompanied by multiple hemorrhages and an increased ability to form blood clots. It can be found both in the body of newborns and in adulthood. According to statistics, this type of anomaly is most common in people of Armenian origin, especially in regions with a large number of natural barriers to sunlight - this prevents the effective production of vitamin D, the deficiency of which provokes a predisposition to these diseases.

In addition, it should be noted that this pathological process was described at the very beginning of the 20th century, even before modern medicine was developed and its consequences could be ignored. For example, Jacques Dauzé, a French surgeon, described this pathology in his book “On Human Pathology” in the chapter “New Deformities” (new anomaly), where he noted that senile flesh is characterized by dilated veins and clusters of tumors throughout the abdominal cavity. The researchers also noted that this term is the most appropriate to describe this abnormal vascular shape.

It is worth noting that despite the fact that when writing an article devoted to a detailed description of the villous vein, I had to deal with a very unusual term, it nevertheless looks quite creepy. As a rule, doctors try not to show patients specific photographs of their pathological processes, because images of this kind are dangerous to the health of patients.

However, it is worth saying that although this type of disease has quite pronounced symptoms, most of them are mild forms, and therefore can be treated in a timely manner. If a pathological process is detected, you must immediately consult a doctor to prevent possible serious consequences for the patient’s health.
