Escleroterapia con etanol de las malformaciones vasculares de la cavidad oral

Oral varix: a review

“…Sclerotherapy is an effective, conservative and safe technique for the treatment of OV, and monoethanolamine oleate has been widely used in their management 8,46 . Others sclerosing agents used are 5% sodium morrhuate, sodium psylliate, quinine urethrone, 1% polidocanol, sodium tetradecyl sulphate, ethanol 51 and hypertonic saline 23,46,52 . The mechanism of action is based on the damage of the endothelium, causing a protein denaturalisation, which induces endothelial damage, thrombus formation, sclerosis, immediate vascular occlusion, consequent inflammation and the subsequent associated fibrosis 51,53 .…”

Nonetheless, this technique may require multiple sessions and is often associated with slight post-operative discomfort 8,54 .…”
