Webinar information
ESHNR Webinars
Since December 2018, the European Society of Head and Neck Radiology has been organising monthly online webinars featuring specialists from all over the world.
The topics of these webinars are designed for radiologists and residents in radiology with an interest in head and neck imaging and focus on in-depth knowledge of the pertinent anatomy, pathology, clinical-radiologic and imaging-related issues in the field of head and neck and maxillo-facial radiology. The learning objectives are oriented on the Head and Neck chapters of the European Training Curriculum for Radiology.
Every month (exception August) there is one webinar organized free of charge for ESHNR members. Non-members can also attend three webinars free of charge. The duration of each webinar is approximately 60 minutes including the presentation and a short Q&A session at the end.
ASHNR-ESHNR Joint Webinars
Starting with September 2020 ESHNR is proud to be joining forces with ASHNR in organising a monthly joint webinar series called “Two Heads and Necks are Better Than One“. The webinars take place every month (exception December and August) are free of charge for both ESHNR members and non-member.
This webinar series aims to do a systematic review of head and neck imaging over a period of a few years. With two speakers (1 from ASHNR, 1 from ESHNR) and two moderators (1 from ASHNR, 1 from ESHNR) the joint webinars are divided into 3 sections: anatomy, pathology, and cases. The opportunity to ask questions follows each one of the sections.
ESHNR members can claim 1 CME credit per webinar through the ASNR Education Connection website. You can watch find the recordings of the joint webinars on the ASHNR Youtube channel.

Review of head & neck vascular lesions
Learning objectives
1. To clarify the biologic basis driving our modern understanding of vascular lesions
2. To review the currently accepted classification scheme for vascular tumors and malformations
3. To describe the imaging characteristics of commonly encountered vasoformative lesions in the head and neck
4. To highlight the importance of utilizing correct nomenclature when discussing vascular lesions
Abstract
“Nomenclature has been the major obstacle to our understanding and management of vascular anomalies.” These words were written by John Mulliken over 30 years after publishing his seminal paper on the biologic basis of vascular anomalies in 1982. The intervening decades have brought tremendous progress in classification, diagnosis and therapy of this diverse group of lesions. Still, much confusion exists in the medical community, in no small part because of inaccurate and inconsistent use of nomenclature both in the literature and in clinical practice.
A prime example is the widespread continued use of the term “hemangioma” to refer to any vascular lesion, with little regard to actual histologic composition. Lesions inaccurately called “hemangioma” occur throughout the head and neck, including “cavernous hemangioma” described in the orbit and parapharyngeal space, and “ossifying hemangioma” of the facial nerve and facial skeleton. The majority of lesions incorrectly termed “hemangioma” represent venous malformations, including those listed above (3). Unfortunately, any attempt to interrogate the literature regarding these entities will yield a mixed bag of terminology that limits our ability to effectively utilize the body of published data on the topic. Following a PubMed search, Hassanein and colleagues reviewed the literature where the word “hemangioma” appeared in the title or abstract, and found it incorrectly used about 70% of the time. Most concerning was the fact that patients whose lesions were mislabeled were considerably more likely to receive inappropriate treatment (20%) than those in whom the lesion was correctly classified (0%).
The multidisciplinary International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies (ISSVA) was formed in 1992 to promote research in the field of vascular anomalies and to create a uniform nomenclature that would facilitate research and clinical practice. ISSVA created a comprehensive classification scheme based on Mulliken’s work on the biologic basis of disease, updated most recently in 2018 and available at issva.org/classification. The ISSVA classification and its associated nomenclature are widely accepted as the gold standard by the numerous medical specialties involved in clinical care and research related to vascular anomalies.
