Vascular anomalies comprise both vascular tumors and vascular malformations which can occur anywhere in the body; the trunk and extremities being the second most common location following the head and neck. Accurate identification of these anomalies is important for proper clinical evaluation and management, particularly since these patients often require multidisciplinary care. The International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies (ISSVA) classification, recently updated in 2014, is widely accepted and offers comprehensive classification for all medical subspecialties involved in the care of these complex anomalies, thus providing common language among caregivers. The purpose of this educational exhibit is to highlight the most important MRI and MRA imaging findings in order to identify these lesions according to the 2014 ISSVA classification. Read More

On conventional MRI pediatric vasoproliferative neoplasms or vascular malformations may demonstrate similar features including T2 hyperintensity and enhancement. Hemangiomas can appear similar to vascular malformations when there are large feeding vessels.
Our objective is to illustrate typical imaging findings of vasolproliferative neoplasms and vascular malformations of the head and neck on conventional MRI and the benefits of time resolved MRA to further distinguish between high and slow flow lesions Read More
