Classification of vascular anomalies (VAs) is challenging due to overlapping clinical symptoms, confusing terminology in the literature and unfamiliarity with this complex entity. It is important to recognize that VAs include two distinct entities, vascular tumours (VTs) and vascular malformations (VaMs). In this article, we describe SE Mitchell Vascular Anomalies Flow Chart (SEMVAFC), which arises from a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates clinical symptoms, physical examination and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings to establish International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies (ISSVA)-based classification of the VAs. SEMVAFC provides a clear visual pathway for physicians to accurately diagnose Vas, which is important as treatment, management, and prognosis differ between VTs and VaMs.
由于临床症状重叠、文献中术语混乱以及对这一复杂实体不熟悉，血管异常（VA）的分类具有挑战性。重要的是要认识到，VA 包括两种截然不同的实体，即血管肿瘤（VT）和血管畸形（VaM）。在本文中，我们描述了 SE Mitchell 血管异常流程图（SEMVAFC），它源于一种多学科方法，结合了临床症状、体格检查和磁共振成像（MRI）结果，以建立基于国际血管异常研究学会（ISSVA）的 VA 分类。SEMVAFC 为医生提供了一条清晰的视觉途径，以准确诊断 Vas，这很重要，因为 VT 和 VaM 的治疗、管理和预后不同。
