Abstract

BACKGROUND: The International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies (ISSVA) provides a detailed classification system to facilitate accurate diagnosis and management of these conditions based on clinical criteria, imaging, and histopathological findings. This review aims to systematically present the state of the art in Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications for the diagnosis, classification, and treatment planning of vascular anomalies affecting the soft tissues of the head and neck region.
