-To review the spectrum of vascular anomalies according to ISSVA 1996 classification, radiological diagnosis and treatment. -To recognize some misnomers for frequently seen vascular anomalies which the radiologist should be aware of. -To remark the importance of Vascular Anomalies Committees to achieve a correct diagnostic and therapeutic management of these lesions.

Vascular anomalies encompass a broad spectrum of lesions, often described using an overlapping and confusing terminology. Since 1996 there is a broadly accepted classification published by the ISSVA based on the histological characteristics. The importance of Vascular Anomalies Committees lies in the need for an unified diagnosis through the experience of multiple experts which enables a correct management. Multiple imaging techniques are available such as US-Doppler, MRI, CT, angiography, plain film: the utility of each modality is shown in this exhibit. Considering that imaging guided procedures are frequently the treatment of choice, interventional techniques are also shown. A pictorial review of vascular anomalies is made showing some complex cases that were presented in the Vascular Anomalies Committee of our institution. Imaging clues are provided to recognize and to make a proper classification of each anomaly with an appropriate terminology.
