ObjectiveTo evaluate the utility of three-dimensional (3D) computerized tomography angiography (CTA) in head and neck vascular anomalies.DesignProspective case series.MethodsA consecutive series of cases of patients with distinct types of vascular anomalies (i.e. hemangioma, arteriovenous malformation, venous malformation and lymphatic malformation) were obtained through CT multislice scanner and analyzed with Vitrea 2 software (Vital Images Inc., Plymouth, MN).ResultsCTA was safe and successful in describing 3D vascular anatomy of a variety of vascular lesions.ConclusionsThree-dimensional CTA allows detailed description of vascular lesions of the head and neck and offers another effective means of imaging these complex lesions.
