Vascular anomalies can be broadly classified into vascular tumours (eg. infantile haemangioma) and vascular malformations. The two main categories of vascular malformations are slow-flow (venous, lymphatic and capillary malformations) or fast-flow (arteriovenous malformations and fistulas). The interventional management of vascular malformations is the primary minimally-invasive therapy which largely replaced the surgical approach. The use of accurate terminology to describe this heterogenous, occasionally overlapping group of disorders is crucial for proper management and research. Unfortunately, despite the major improvement in the clinical, genetic and therapeutic management of vascular anomalies, myths and misconceptions about the diagnosis and management of these anomalies continue to be surprisingly pervasive with frequent serious consequences.
