Vascular malformations (VMs) in the head and neck region are present at birth and grow commensurately with the child, they can result in significant cosmetic problems for the patient, and some may lead to even serious life threatening hemorrhage. Although the molecular mechanisms underlying the formation of these VMs remain unclear, lesions are known to result from abnormal development and morphogenesis. Histologically, there are no evidence of cellular proliferation, but rather progressive dilatation of abnormal channels, which VMs are designated to their prominent channel types such as capillary, venous, lymphatic, arterial, and combined malformations. VMs with an arterial component are rheologically fast-flow, whereas capillary, lymphatic, and venous components are slow-flow. In this article, we review the clinical presentations, diagnosis, and management of VMs of facial regions with author’s embolization and surgical treatment cases.
