Head and Neck Vascular Anomalies: A Practical CaseBased Approach is a comprehensive text that covers the vascular anomalies encountered in the head and neck. This book is organized into 6 categories: infantile hemangiomas, other vascular tumors, capillary malformations, venous malformations, lymphatic malformations, and arteriovenous malformations. Each category is further divided into various case studies, each of which walks the reader through a representative case and discusses the differential diagnoses, diagnostic workup, and management of each case. This text is a useful resource for physicians in all fields and at all levels of training. The cases are well presented, and the flow of each case study is extremely readable while still providing a comprehensive overview of each topic. The high-quality illustrations are well organized and a critical adjunct to the text, expertly representing the lesion discussed and thereby enhancing the reader’s understanding of the presentation/postoperative appearances of the lesions. Furthermore, each case study is succinctly summarized in a bulleted list, which allows the reader to hone in on the major key points for each case. This text also provides extensive references, not just from otolaryngology journals but also from plastics, pediatrics, and dermatology journals, highlighting the multidisciplinary approach for many of the head and neck vascular anomalies. This text will serve useful for pediatric otolaryngologists, pediatricians, and other physicians who encounter vascular anomalies in their practice.
