Abstract

Vascular anomalies affecting the head and neck region pose significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to their varied presentations and potential involvement of critical anatomical structures. This case series presents five cases of vascular malformations encountered at our tertiary care hospital, including capillary malformations, lymphatic malformations, venous malformations, and arteriovenous malformations, each with distinct clinical presentations and management considerations.
The importance of a multidisciplinary approach involving specialists from various fields is underscored to ensure optimal patient outcomes.
