Abstract
- This comprehensive review explores the role of sonographic assessment in diagnosing and characterizing peripheral slow-flow vascular malformations (PSFVM). The review begins with an introduction providing the background and significance of PSFVM, defining these vascular anomalies, and emphasizing the importance of sonography in their diagnosis. The objectives focus on a thorough examination of existing literature, assessing the effectiveness of sonography in delineating morphological and hemodynamic features crucial for accurate classification. The summary of key findings highlights the diagnostic accuracy of sonography while acknowledging its limitations. Implications for clinical practice emphasize the practical utility of sonography in early diagnosis and preoperative planning, suggesting integration into multimodal approaches. The conclusion underscores the need for standardized criteria, ongoing education, and future research, positioning sonography as a valuable tool in the comprehensive management of PSFVM.<br />Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.<br /> (Copyright © 2024, Shelar et al.)
