Una marca vascular de nacimiento es el resultado de vasos sanguíneos que no se han formado correctamente. Los síntomas externos que éstas provocan incluyen la decoloración de la piel o las lesiones protuberantes. Una inadecuada supervisión del nervio facial durante el tratamiento puede incrementar hasta un 50% las posibilidades de que se produzca un daño en el mismo nervio. Sin embargo, el Dr. Greg Levitin utiliza un sistema intraoperatorio de monitoreo de nervios, que le ha permitido reducir este riesgo a menos del 1%.

En el Vascular Birthmark Center / Centro de Marcas Vasculares de Nacimiento, ofrecemos una gran variedad de opciones de tratamientos de las marcas de nacimiento congénitas, lipomatosis congénita, neurofibromatosis, nevus (pigmentados y no pigmentados), neurofibromas plexiformes y otras marcas vasculares de nacimiento. El Dr. Levitin llevará a cabo un detallado y experto diagnóstico en nuestros consultorios, en medio de un ambiente cómodo y agradable, donde podrá hacer todas las preguntas que necesite y aclarar todas sus dudas.

Diagnóstico de Marcas Vasculares de Nacimiento

Las marcas vasculares de nacimiento pueden estar presentes al nacer o también aparecer unos meses más tarde. El Dr. Greg Levitin es especialista en el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de marcas vasculares de nacimiento, con consultorios en Nueva York y Los Ángeles. Siempre es importante buscar el diagnóstico correcto de una marca vascular de nacimiento, especialmente en la infancia pues, aunque en un pequeño porcentaje, en ocasiones pudieran representar una seria amenaza para la salud.

Opciones de Tratamiento

El tipo de tratamiento que usted o su hijo reciban en el Vascular Birthmark Center / Centro de Marcas Vasculares de Nacimiento, dependerá de la clase de marca que presente, su tamaño y su localización en el cuerpo. El Dr. Levitin siempre buscará hacer uso de tratamientos médicos, antes de aplicar terapias con láser u otras opciones quirúrgicas, que sólo utilizará cuando sea apropiado. Sin embargo, en el Vascular Birthmark Center / Centro de Marcas Vasculares de Nacimiento, también nos comprometemos a garantizar que nuestros pacientes inicien lo antes posible un tratamiento efectivo, por lo que la realización de un diagnóstico correcto y completo se vuelve imprescindible para alcanzar una resolución satisfactoria para usted.

La terapia con láser es una técnica que utiliza una serie de láseres, debidamente calibrados a diferentes longitudes de onda, con el fin de obtener el resultado deseado. Mientras que esta práctica, realizada de manera tradicional aborda principalmente la decoloración visible de las marcas vasculares de nacimiento, el Dr. Greg Levitin emplea una amplia gama de láseres que le permite tratar una variedad mayor de éstas, de forma más efectiva y sin la necesidad de cirugía.

Aunque habitualmente la cirugía se debe considerar la última opción de tratamiento, la experiencia, los métodos y las cualidades del Dr. Greg Levitin se traducen en excelentes resultados que arrojan menos de un 1% de probabilidades de causar daño a los nervios faciales durante el procedimiento. Los niños y niñas de tan solo 6 meses en adelante, dependiendo de los resultados que arrojen durante la consulta y el posterior diagnóstico del Dr. Levitin, podrían ser candidatos aptos a someterse a una cirugía en el Vascular Birthmark Center / Centro de Marcas Vasculares de Nacimiento. La cicatrices que resultan son mínimas y los pacientes reciben toda la información e indicaciones a seguir, para disfrutar de una recuperación rápida y satisfactoria.

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
