Abstract
Identification and treatment of vascular malformations is a challenging endeavor for
physicians, especially given the great concern and anxiety created for patients and
their families. The goal of this article is to provide a review of vascular malformations,
organized by subtype, including capillary, venous, lymphatic and arteriovenous malformations.
Only by developing a clear understanding of the clinical aspects, diagnostic tools,
imaging modalities, and options for intervention will appropriate care be provided
and results maximized.
