Vascular anomalies are commonly encountered in pediatric and dermatology
practices. Most of these lesions are benign and easy to diagnose based on history
and clinical exam alone. However, in some cases the diagnosis may not be clear.
This may be of particular concern given that vascular anomalies may occasionally
be associated with an underlying syndrome, congenital disease, or serious,
life-threatening condition. Defining the type of vascular lesion early and
correctly is particularly important to determine the optimal approach to
management and treatment of each patient. The care of pediatric patients often
requires collaboration from a multitude of specialties including pediatrics,
dermatology, plastic surgery, radiology, ophthalmology, and neurology. Although
early characterization of vascular lesions is important, consensus guidelines
regarding the evaluation and imaging of vascular anomalies does not exist to
date. Here, the authors provide an overview of pediatric vascular lesions,
current classification systems for characterizing these lesions, the various
imaging modalities available, and recommendations for appropriate imaging
evaluation.
