Paediatric Vascular Anomalies

Sixty percent of vascular anomalies in children are establish in the head and neck. These lessions can present through out antenatal, perinatal and childhood improvement. They broadly fall into two categories: vascular tumors and vascular malformations. Their clinical and, often, psychological impact is decisive by both pathological type and location: many lesions follow an effortless natural course and other more complex, considerable or progressive lesions can present a threat to life from mass consequence, haemorrhage or large volume arterio venous shunting. Vascular tumours include infantile haemangioma , congenital haemangioma  and Kaposi form haemangioma endothelium; of which IH is the most common. Management options for vascular tumours include moderate approaches, oral medications and surgical intervention as determined by tumour type, location and associated complications. Vascular malformations can be categorised into small flow and big flow lesions. Low flow lesions incorporate capillary, venous and lymphatic malformations.
