<\/span><\/h2>\nTelangiectasia is a condition in which there are small visible linear<\/span> Red blood vessels<\/span> (broken capillaries<\/span>) These are also called telangiectasias<\/span>.

<\/span>Which is the differential diagnosis<\/span> of telangiectasia?<\/span><\/h2>\nTelangiectasias must be distinguished from others vascular<\/span> conditions, including blood vessel<\/span> tumors like infantile hemangiomas<\/span> and angiomas<\/span> arising in adults; Y capillary<\/span> or venous<\/span> vascular malformations<\/p>\nThe large red blood vessels are arteries and the large blue blood vessels are veins. The arteries can become enlarged due to the formation of aneurysms. The enlarged veins due to the destruction of your valve system are known as varicose veins.<\/p>\n
