Imagerie des anomalies et malformations vasculaires de l’enfant

The role of imaging of the vascular anomalies in children has been transformed by the development of the non invasive techniques; CT and MRI that is not using ionizing radiations allow to obtain the majority of answers that are necessary to the diagnosis and therapeutic strategy. What is the nature of the lesion, its localisation, its extension, and its evolutivity. Imaging allows a classification of the anomaly thanks to the identification of the involved vessels and their hemodynamic basis of the ISSVA classification. Imaging is only useful in rare cases as in most of the time the diagnosis is established by clinical examination and Doppler.
