| description | Vascular malformations were known in all paediatric age groups including neonates to adolescence. These were known since very long time. Many such cases were missed earlier due to lack of diagnostic imaging techniques. Proper diagnosis of such lesions is very challenging. So, proper identification and early treatment is of utmost importance. Any misdiagnosis can lead to inappropriate management and outcome. With recent advances in imaging techniques and better interventional facilities, the rate of diagnosis has improved but still the rate of misdiagnosis remains high. Though the newer treatment modalities are available, but their availability is restricted to tertiary care multifacility hospitals. Therefore, even after proper diagnosis, the management remains inadequate. This series is about three different patients of vascular malformations, belonging to different paediatric age groups. The clinical presentations, diagnosis and management were varied but diagnosis was possible due to high level of clinical suspicion and modern imaging techniques. The first patient initially seemed to have a post-traumatic swelling or juvenile idiopathic arthritis, but was later diagnosed as peripheral vascular malformation. The second patient was suspected to have haemangioma, but final diagnosis based on radiographical findings revealed low flow vascular malformation of face. The third patient was diagnosed with vascular malformation of head, but was clinically thought to be a sebaceous cyst. |
