Abstract:
Pediatric vascular anomalies can be difficult to diagnose and complex to treat. One must be able to distinguish hemangiomas from various vascular malformations, as well as appreciate their dynamic course with time. Thorough understandings of the clinical and diagnostic techniques used to evaluate these lesions are paramount for the treating surgeon. In addition, knowledge of current treatments from watchful waiting to radical extirpation is mandatory. This must all be done in the setting of a developing child. We present a current review of the literature regarding the comprehensive care of pediatric vascular lesions.
