“…Angiography is also a useful modality for defining extent of disease, especially when identifying deep or small VMs, such as intracranial sinus pericranii or gastrointestinal VM. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] In the present case, phleboliths were seen on plain radiography and were suggestive of vascular anomaly with slow flow rate. Whereas, by direct phlebography the lesion was seen draining the regional vein.…”

“…Treatment should be reserved for symptomatic or cosmetically disfiguring malformations. Zheng et al reported that laser therapy is recommended for superficial venous malformations 17 . A Sclerosing agent, which comprises the main type of treatment, includes STS (sodium tetradecyl sulfate), polidocanol, and absolute alcohol.…”

“…Others classify vascular malformations as low flow (capillary, venous and lymphatic malformations or a combination of them) and high flow (arterial and arteriovenous shunt) [1][2][3]. Previous literature reports an incidence of 14-65 % of vascular malformations occurring in the head and neck region [4]. Vascular malformations (VM) are characterized by thin non-proliferating endothelial wall surrounded by a thin smooth muscle layer.…”

“…Vascular malformations (VM) are characterized by thin non-proliferating endothelial wall surrounded by a thin smooth muscle layer. These lesions normally don't involute, but continue to increase in size in proportion with body size, often reaching enormous volumes [4]. In contrast, Hemangiomas are active proliferating tumors which demonstrate a characteristic pattern of rapid postnatal growth followed by slow involution [2,3].…”

Introduction Vascular malformations have devastating cosmetic effects in addition to being associated with pain and bleeding. Sclerotherapy has been used as an effective therapeutic modality for the management of vascular malformations. The purpose of this case series is to describe our clinical experience of using sodium tetradecyl sulphate (STS) 3 % in the treatment of venous malformation lesions of head and neck. Materials and Methods Thirteen patients were included in this study (three male and ten female; age range between 8 months and 54 years; mean age 18.2 years, ±SD 15.71). The patients were treated by 3 % STS intralesional injections. Of the thirteen patients treated, complete resolution occurred in four patients (28.57 %), a good response occurred in five patients (35.7 %), a moderate response in two patients (14.28 %), a mild response in two patients (14.28 %) and no response in one patient (7.14 %). The side effects encountered in all patients were pain and edema after injection which was controlled by oral analgesics and an intramuscular injection of dexamethasone. In addition, two patients developed a superficial ulceration (11.76 %) which healed uneventfully, and one patient developed ecchymosis after injection (5.88 %). Conclusion Sclerotherapy with 3 % STS is a simple, safe, and effective modality for the treatment of venous malformations.

“…11 There is no fixed documented and easy road map during the selection of various treatment modaliies for vascular malformation of any sites in body. 12,13 The basic factors which decide the treatment modality in vascular tumors/ malformations are: The common non-surgical methods for treatment of various vascular malformations are LASER (Nd:YAG) and 5% monoethanolamine oleate sclerotherapy. 3,4 There are advantages and disadvantages for both surgical and nonsurgical methods of treatment of large vascular malformations.…”

Background: Vascular malformations generally present in young population. The patients or their guardians seek treatment for alleviation of functional and/or cosmetic disfigurement. Non-invasive techniques with or without surgery are available, however surgical treatment has been found to be most definitive modality of treatment in selected cases of vascular malformations. In this article, we are presenting our experience of single stage partial/total excision of vascular malformation of various types, at different location on body without any adjuvant treatment with emphasis on the post-operative outcome. The aim of the study was to evaluate criteria for case selection, freedom from symptoms, cosmetic outcome, functional improvement, long term post-operative result and quality of life.Methods: This study was performed to assess outcome of surgical treatment for 20 patients of vascular malformation. Fourteen were offered primary surgery and 6 out of 20 had received prior non-invasive treatment. The post-operative follow-up period was minimum 6 months and maximum for 4 years.Results: The patients who underwent primary surgery were more satisfied than those who had received non-invasive treatment before surgery. This was because of satisfactory cosmetic outcome, minimal post-operative pain of short duration, no post-operative residual wound and minimal post-operative morbidity.Conclusions: For treatment of vascular malformations, surgery can be offered as the primary and only treatment modality in selected cases because of immediate resolution of mass, minimal complications, satisfactory functional outcome and acceptable cosmetic appearance. Also, this improved patient compliance and long term follow up.
