  • Title: Vascular anomalies: what they are, how to diagnose them, and how to treat them.
    Author: Ballah D, Cahill AM, Fontalvo L, Yan A, Treat J, Low D, Epelman M.
    Journal: Curr Probl Diagn Radiol; 2011; 40(6):233-47. PubMed ID: 21939817.
    Abstract:
    Vascular anomalies are congenital lesions that most often first present in pediatric patients. Treatment of these lesions is a multidisciplinary team approach, involving several specialties, including diagnostic and interventional radiology, dermatology, general and plastic surgery, otolaryngology, and hematology. Knowing the characteristic findings of vascular anomalies on ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging leads to early, accurate diagnosis and therapeutic intervention of these lesions. This article discusses the gross and radiographic appearances and the latest treatment options for vascular anomalies.
