  • Tumores Vasculares

    Los tumores vasculares, en sus múltiples categorías y variedades suelen ser, en su mayoría, benignos. Sin embargo, pueden causar incomodidad, deformidad o problemas estéticos, lo que hace que se requiera, para su diagnóstico y tratamiento, de la experiencia de un especialista en marcas vasculares de nacimiento. Los hemangiomas infantiles, así como el hemangioma congénito rápidamente involutivo (o RICH, por sus siglas en inglés), el hemangioma congénito no involutivo (o NICH, por sus siglas en inglés) y el granuloma presentan múltiples variantes según sus factores de crecimiento y riesgos. Con una cuidadosa atención respecto a la ubicación y profundidad de la lesión, incluidas sus características y propensiones al sangrado, el Vascular Birthmark Center / Centro de Marcas Vasculares de Nacimiento se especializa en realizar diagnósticos de vanguardia y protocolos para el tratamiento en niños, niñas y adultos con tumores vasculares.

  • Malformaciones Vasculares

    Las malformaciones vasculares se clasifican según los vasos sanguíneos que conforman la lesión, y el color de ésta está relacionado con la dilatación de las venas bajo la superficie de la piel. Así ocurre, por ejemplo, en las manchas de ‘vino de Oporto’, una malformación vascular común en la que la dilatación hace que aparezca una lesión en la piel de color rojiza. A su vez, las malformaciones venosas se componen de un sinfín de venas dilatadas, que cuando se presentan superficialmente, se tornan de un color azulado. Otras malformaciones se llegan a desarrollan de forma más masiva, cuando el líquido linfático se acumula dentro de los vasos defectuosos. El Vascular Birthmark Center / Centro de Marcas Vasculares de Nacimiento ofrece a todos sus pacientes la excelencia en el tratamiento y eliminación de malformaciones vasculares.

  • Otras Marcas de Nacimiento

    Las marcas vasculares de nacimiento, que aparecen al nacer o poco después, están compuestas de malformaciones en células pigmentarias o vasos sanguíneos. Aproximadamente 1 de cada 10 bebés tiene algún tipo de marca vascular o anomalía de nacimiento, algunas de las cuales pueden ser desde manchas de ‘vino de Oporto’ hasta hemangiomas o tumores vasculares. Aunque la mayoría de las marcas vasculares de nacimiento son inofensivas y no causan dolor, muchos niños y adultos requerirán de tratamiento, especialmente si en el área donde se hallan ubicadas, se experimentan cambios, sangrados, agrietamientos o infecciones. El Dr. Gregory Levitin es un especialista líder en el diagnóstico de las marcas vasculares de nacimiento, proporcionando tratamientos personalizados para una amplia gama de este tipo de malformaciones.

Apoyo a Padres / Pacientes a través de VBF

La Vascular Birthmarks Foundation o Fundación Marcas Vasculares de Nacimiento (VBF, por sus siglas en inglés), fue fundada hace más de 20 años por Linda Rozell-Shannon, PhD, con el objetivo de ayudar a aquellos pacientes con hemangiomas y marcas vasculares de nacimiento de todo el mundo a encontrar la atención de especialistas para su tratamiento. Como un principal e importantísimo grupo de apoyo al paciente, la VBF ha ayudado a una red de miles de niños, niñas y adultos en el tratamiento, y ha apoyado a su vez al Dr. Levitin y a la fundación, como líderes en la materia.

    Dr. Levitin is very knowledgeable, compassionate and professional. Five years ago, I needed to find information about a birth mark that my newborn daughter started to grow a couple days after birth. I was afraid, I did not feel like I got any clear information about it through my insurance; also, they did not offer any course of treatment for it. I started to look for information, the birthmark was growing each day, information was scarce and I just got more scared. Finally, I found a video in Youtube from a grandmother who was very grateful after finding treatment for her grand daughter through The Birthmark Foundation. It was a huge blessing to me and my family. I found Dr. Levitin, I contacted him thinking he probably would not even answer. I was wrong, he kindly answered promptly, got in touch with me and soon he had a plan : ) I went to see him at the Birthmark Center in Los Angeles. He explained everything in a way that it was so clear to understand, no question I made was insignificant and his answers were each very informative. I really never have had an experience with a doctor who explains and speaks in such a way. I left his office knowing that my daughter was in the best hands and the best care. I first thank God for the Birthmark Foundation, a great organization with the highest quality of doctors. Also, a very special thanks to Dr. Levitin for all his help and kindness, for listening to my concerns and answering each and every question. And last, but no least, to the Birthmark Foundation Center in Los Angeles : ) I hope many children can find help/care in this place as I found it for my daughter. Thank you forever.

    I will be telling tales of the good doctors compassion till time comes to an end. Because of Dr Levitin, I have more confidence in my every day life. He was fast, knowledgeable, precise and all with a disarming sense of humor. Two thumbs up!

    we are forever grateful for Dr. Levitin. My daughter Lena had surgery to remove her hemangioma that was located on her forehead at just 6 month old. she healed beautifully and we couldn't be happier with how minimal her scar is, even almost 4.5 years later. Dr. Levitin is caring, compassionate, and such a great doctor/surgeon overall. He had our daughter's best interest and I knew she was in good hands. I highly recommend him any chance I get!

    My name is Chris and I was recently treated for an AVM on my forehead by Dr. Gregory Levitin of New York (New York Eye and Ear Infirmary). Thankfully, I live within a few hours of NYC. In brief, I would like to say that Dr. Levitin is very capable doctor with a lot of experience with AVMs. He responds quickly to e-mail, texts, and phone calls. He accepts insurance. He takes a "team approach" and will be your "QB" and involve other specialists as necessary. In my particular case they were Dr. Raj Shrivastava (Mt Sinai) and Dr. Raphael A. Ortiz (Lenox Hill) in NY. I recommend contacting Dr Levitin for a consultation if you suspect you have an AVM. All 3 Drs are just good people. When I spoke to them, they treated me like like an equal. I felt like they were advising me as a close friend or family member. Like many that suffer with AVMs I was at first mis-diagnosed. What was thought to be a just a simple cyst turned out to be an AVM. Surgery to remove the cyst made the AVM about 5x bigger. My treatment entailed a few MRIs and CAT scans to determine what was going on and the treatment plan. This was followed by consultation with the 3 Drs mentioned above and finally a 2-day procedure. On day 1 Dr Ortiz embolized the AVM. On day 2 Dr Levitin and Dr Shrivastava removed the AVM from my skull and put some metal mesh there to fill the "hole". It has been 6-months since the surgery and so far I have not had any recurrence. In honor of Vascular Birthmark Awareness Day and to thank these Drs for all they have done for me, I just want to give everyone a solid reference. Finding the right doctor for this type of stuff makes all the difference.

    This year marks the 10th that I contacted VBF for help. Since then I have been under the care of Dr. G Levitin and Dr. R. Ortiz, they are my guardian healing angels! Thanks VBF for not only helping me but also for letting me be a volunteer in the foundation whenever I am needed. A Big Hug to all from MIAMI... Alicia
