The goal of this clinical trial is to explore if enalapril can be used to treat painful venous malformations. The main question it aims to answer are:

\- Can enalapril reduce pain and volume of the malformation and increase quality of life in patients with painful venous malformations?

Participants will:

Receive a dose of enalapril 5 mg once daily. If it doesn't have effect the dose of enalapril will be increased to 10 mg daily after 3 months.

The treatment duration will be 12 months, with an additional follow-up of 12 months.

Approximately 15 participants will be screened to achieve minimum 10 enrolled participants.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

The venous malformation should have well defined borders and the volume should be measurable on MRI. Diagnosis of venous malformation shall be object for consensus in a multidisciplinary team meeting.

Patients must experience pain from the malformation. Pain is defined as local pain in the malformation, and the participant must have pain that according to the patient inhibits daily activity or pain during nighttime that interferes with sleep.
