Highlights
- •Congenital Hemangioma is a rare vascular tumor which on occasion requires surgical intervention.
- •CTA as a part of multidisciplinary approach for the management of Congenital Hemangioma
- •Utilizing a small field of view and small interval reconstruction of CTA data allows for microvascular volume visualization.
- •Presurgical embolization of congenital hemangiomas minimizes intraoperative and post-operative bleeding.
Abstract
CT angiography (CTA) can be used for planning procedural and operative therapies for
neonatal vascular lesions, such as congenital hemangiomas (CH), that are too morbid
for medical therapy. Neonatal anatomy can be displayed within a small enough field-of-view
that the nominal resolution of a modern CT scanner can be realized with a standard
512 × 512 storage matrix, yielding isometric ultrahigh resolution data and allowing
for microvascular volume visualization. This case report details the creation and
use of microvascular volume visualizations of CTA data during pre-procedural planning
for treatment of this pathological entity.
