Comprehensive radiologic evaluation and accurate diagnosis of vascular malformations is vital to guide optimal treatment. Technical approaches and sclerotic agents used by interventional radiology vary by the type of malformation, anatomic location, and architecture of the malformation. Proper pre-procedural characterization of hard-to-treat lesions impacts procedural success and long-term outcomes. Most vascular malformations located superficially on the extremities and trunk, and can be evaluated with ultrasound and color Doppler. However, evaluation can be complicated by unusual locations and difficulty in characterization, requiring MRI and/or MRA. We present interesting pediatric vascular malformations challenging for both imaging diagnosis and treatment. The objectives of this poster include: 1. To review the classification and nomenclature of vascular malformations. 2. To present multimodal imaging findings of vascular malformations. 3. To discuss diagnostic imaging approaches of vascular malformations.modalities used. 4. To describe the treatment approaches for these malformations and outcomes including technical considerations and follow up. Read More
