Radiol Clin North Am. 2022 Jan;60(1):179-192. doi: 10.1016/j.rcl.2021.08.011.

Abstract

Vascular malformations are commonly encountered in the pediatric population. This article reviews the imaging appearances of simple and syndromic vascular malformations in infants and children that radiologists should know and provides imaging guidelines based on an evidence-based approach. Malformations are discussed within the framework of the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies classification system.
