Modern aspects of diagnosis and treatment of vascular anomalies in children

Abstract

According to the classification of the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies (ISSVA), vascular anom- alies include a wide range of pathologies classified as vascular tumors or vascular malformations. This classification, last updated in 2018, is intended to explain the biological basis of vascular anomalies and help doctors in their treatment. In vascular tumors, proliferative changes in endothelial cells are observed, while vascular malformations are mainly struc- tural vascular anomalies. Vascular malformations are an extensive group of malformations of the arterial, venous, and lymphatic systems, both isolated and in combination with each other. Radiological examination plays a key role in the treatment of children with these diseases. This clinical example describes the stages of diagnosis and treatment of a child with arteriovenous malformation of the soft tissues of the back of the neck.
