Abstract

Head and neck vascular abnormalities are a diverse set of lesions that pose a challenge to head and neck surgeons. Hemangiomas and vascular malformations remain perplexing in terms of understanding the differences between their two unique forms and their therapy. The goal of this article is to provide a review of vascular malformations with respect to their subtypes and characteristic features. This review also aims to provide a clear understanding of the available treatment options with the proposed treatment algorithm and an elaboration on medical management for vascular lesions in an evidence-based manner.
