title: Hemangiomas and vascular malformations of the head and neck: a simplified approach.
abstract: This article is a review of vascular tumors and malformations that occur in infancy and childhood. It discusses anomalies of arterial, venous, capillary, lymphatic, and mixed vascular endothelium in terms of their varying forms, clinical course, imaging characteristics, complications, and treatment. The comparative utility of various imaging modalities is simplified.
