Abstract:
Objective To study the value of sclerotherapy by indwelling intravenous cannula guided by color Doppler flow imaging in the treatment of thyroid cyst. Methods In the guidance of color Doppler flow imaging, the cyst was punctured with intravenous cannula. Then the cyst fluid was drawn out, the cyst cavity irrigated, and the absolute alcohol injected into. Results The treatment was completed successfully in 47 cases, without complications such as bleeding or nerve injuries. The cyst was wiped out within 1 month in 20 cases, within 3 months in 27 cases. All the 47 cases were followed for 6～12 months and no recurrence was seen.Conclusions Puncture guided by color Doppler flow imaging is safe and reliable. Use of absolute alcohol in sclerotherapy is effective.
