Congenital vascular anomalies are complex hereditary lesions with distinct clinical presentation, imaging, course, and treatment. We present a relevant review of the classification, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and imaging characteristics that will allow for adequate diagnosis and understanding of these lesions.
