Vascular Anomalies

Vascular Anomalies are blood vessels that have not developed correctly. Many vascular anomalies do not require treatment, but other require medical or surgical intervention. Historically, they have been labeled with descriptive terms according to the food they resemble (port wine, strawberry, cherry, salmon patch). A vascular anomaly will usually be present at birth; although some appear weeks or years later. Vascular anomalies can occur anywhere on the body, but they are most prevalent in the head and neck area.
