Facial vascular malformations in children. Conventional and digital, diagnostic and therapeutic angiography.
The authors present their experience with conventional and digital angiography of vascular malformations of the head and neck in children. 22 hemangioendotheliomas, 8 venous angiomas, and 3 arteriovenous fistula were studied. 22 patients were embolised. DSA offers many advantages during the diagnostic as well during the therapeutic phase of angiography. Embolization appears to have a major role in treatment of such vascular malformations.
