Table 1. Hamburg Classification of Congenital Vascular Malformation (CVM), modified*
Main classification based on its predominant vascular component:
Arterial malformation
Venous malformation
AV (arteriovenous) shunting malformation
Lymphatic malformation
Capillary malformation
Combined vascular malformation
Embryological subclassification:
Extratruncular forms – developmental arrest at the earlier stages of embryonal life:
Diffuse, infiltrating
Limited, localized
Truncular forms – developmental arrest at the later stages of embryonal life:
Obstruction & Stenosis
Hypoplasia; Aplasia; Hyperplasia
Membrane; Congenital spur; Web
Dilatation
Localized (aneurysm)
Diffuse (ectasia)
* Both extratruncular and truncular forms may exist together in same vascular malformation; may be combined with other various malformations (e.g. capillary, arterial, AV shunting, venous, hemolymphatic and/or lymphatic); and/or may exist with hemangioma.
* Based on the consensus on the CVM classification through the international workshop in Hamburg, Germany, 1988, which was upheld by subsequently founded ISSVA (International Society for Vascular Anomaly).
