Diagnosis and surgical treatment of vascular anomalies in children: a case report

According to the classification of the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies (ISSVA), vascular anomalies include various abnormalities classified as vascular tumors or vascular malformations. This classification, last updated in 2018, is intended to explain biological basis of vascular lesions and help doctors treating abnormalities. In vascular tumors, proliferative changes in endothelial cells are observed, while vascular malformations are mainly structural vascular anomalies. Vascular malformations are an extensive group of arterial, venous, and lymphatic malformations (alone and in combination with each other). X-ray examination is essential in the treatment of children with these diseases. This report describes diagnosis and treatment of a child with arteriovenous malformation of the back of the neck.
