Abstract

While vascular anomalies may be found in patients of all ages, they most commonly present in neonates and infants. Such lesions usually involve the skin and subcutaneous tissues; however the mucosa and viscera may also be affected. When present in the neonatal airway, vascular anomalies may cause severe respiratory distress, hypoxemia, failure to thrive, and even death.
