| Abstract: | Vascular anomalies are rare disorders that encompass a group of lesions characterized by abnormal development of the lymphovascular system. Majority of these anomalies are present at birth and could potentially be detected during the prenatal period on imaging. This allows for early intervention and prompt management to improve outcomes. However, they can be difficult to diagnose, given the rarity and overlapping findings. In this review article, we provide a comprehensive overview of congenital vascular anomalies with a liberal use of images of recent cases at our center emphasizing prenatal imaging findings and the natural history of these conditions. |
