ROLE OF SODIUM TETRADECYL SULFATE IN THE TREATMENT OF VASCULAR MALFORMATION – A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Vascular malformations are the most common congenital and neonatal vascular anomalies in the head and neck region. The management of vascular anomalies is an extremely challenging area and is as divergent as the nature of the lesions. The demand for simple and esthetic vascular malformation treatments have increased more recently. The purpose of this report is to describe our clinical experience in a case treated successfully using sclerosing solution injection alone. Methods: Management of the vascular malformation using intra lesional injections of sodium tetradecyl sulfate to the lesion is discussed. The procedure was performed one time and three follow up at weekly interval were taken. Results: Complete resolution of the lesion was found following sclerotherapy. Conclusions: Conservative interventional management using intra lesional injection of sclerosing solution was successful in treating vascular anomaly.
