Abstract

Recent advances in imaging have allowed a better understanding of imaging features and classification of vascular anomalies. This article focuses on imaging of vascular malformations; describes the updated classification system and clinical and imaging characteristics of the different subtypes; and discusses the associated syndromes, differential diagnosis, and available treatment options, including the role of imaging in management.

Keywords: Arteriovenous; Capillary; Lymphatic malformations; Vascular malformations; Venous anomalies.
