Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Vascular malformations are rare but important skin disorders in children, which often require multidisciplinary care. The goal of this article is to orient pediatricians to the various types of vascular malformations. We discuss the clinical characteristics, diagnostic criteria, and management of capillary, venous, arteriovenous, and lymphatic malformations. Associated findings and syndromes are also discussed briefly.
