Abstract
Background: Vascular malformations belong to the group of vascular anomalies. They are rare congenital diseases resulting from abnormal development of vessels and can arise in any location, often in the head and neck region. Clinical symptoms are variable, functional handicaps and esthetic problems may result.
Materials and methods: One differentiates between arteriovenous, lymphatic, venous, and capillary malformations and combinations thereof. Their classification, symptoms, diagnostics, and treatment options are discussed.
Results: The different types of vascular malformations as well as their clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, and therapeutic options are presented, supported by clinical examples.
Conclusion: Interdisciplinary care of pediatric patients with vascular malformations is essential in order to generate a treatment concept after correct diagnosis and improve symptoms and quality of life.
