Impact of Vascular Anomalies on the Family System Linda Rozell-Shannon (April 2017) . For new parents, having an infant is stressful, but when that infant is diagnosed with a potential disfiguring , parents will experience additional stress. . Wandering from doctor to doctor to find an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan can result in symptoms of acute stress, disruption to normal family routines, and feelings of helplessness and hopelessness by the entire family, primarily the parents. . Additionally, the stress from the uncertainty over how large or disfiguring these lesions can become can interfere with maternal bonding as the mother becomes fixated on treatment, missing significant milestones in the infant’s normal development. . To further complicate the matter, insurance companies routinely deny the treatment of benign vascular anomalies leaving the families feeling helpless and hopeless. Treat with confidence. Trusted answers from the American Academy of Pediatrics.

. Studies conducted to assess the impact of having an infant with a facial vascular anomaly concluded that there was an interference with normal maternal bonding, the fear of the unknown negatively impacted the family system, and inconsistent information from physicians and potential denial of treatment by insurance providers resulted in symptoms of acute stress. . Due to the lack of consistent information regarding the diagnosis and treatment of these lesions, families often seek outside sources, such as not for profits, that provide accurate information and support to the affected families. . Outdated medical information that promotes a “benign neglect” philosophy further complicates the fact finding of parents who learn about early treatment options on the internet through organizations such as the Vascular Birthmarks Foundation. . Online medical advice provided by vascular anomalies experts provides hope to the families but is often impeded by insurance companies who deny out of network treatment. As a result, families experience cyclical highs and lows as they wander from doctor to doctor and internet resources to internet resources trying to find appropriate treatment options. Treat with confidence. Trusted answers from the American Academy of Pediatrics.

. What can be done???? . Affected families need to know they are not alone. Support groups, such as the Vascular Birthmarks Foundation, exist, which can connect families newly diagnosed with families who have successfully navigated the diagnosis and treatment process. . Affected families need to know there are treatment options available, and these options should be presented and discussed, weighing pros and cons. . Outdated benign neglect protocol needs to be abandoned for a more appropriate approach to early intervention. . Babies need to be referred early for treatment, following the 4-week well baby check up. . If needed, practitioners need to provide documentation for the medical necessity for treatment. . Last, but not least, physicians need to be cognizant and sensitive to the fact that having an infant with a potentially problematic and disfiguring vascular anomaly can interfere with maternal bonding, as well as the entire family system. In some instances, families may need to be referred to a social worker or appropriate mental health expert to resolve any psychosocial issues. Treat with confidence.
