Vascular Malformations and Hemangiomas
A Practical Approach in a Multidisciplinary Clinic
Vascular malformatiyons and hemangiomas can cause significant morbidity and even mortality in both children and adults. For a number of reasons, physicians often confuse these lesions. The nomenclature for classifying these lesions is often used interchangeably and inappropriately. Clinically significant malformations are uncommon, and patients with these malformations are rarely encountered in primary medical facilities, rendering most physicians inexperienced in providing optimal care. Radiologists may become involved in the care of these patients when imaging or imaging-guided therapy is requested; therefore, knowledge of the imaging and treatment of these patients is essential. This article reviews the clinical and imaging approaches to vascular malformations and hemangiomas used in the multidisciplinary clinic at our institution, stressing a multidisciplinary approach, a practical categorization scheme, characteristic imaging findings, and commonly encountered clinical scenarios.
