Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the efficacy and advantages of fluoroscopy sclerotherapy treatment for the faciocervical lymphatic malformations (LMs) under digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in children. Method:Retrospective analysis of 48 cases of lymphatic malfromations who were treated with intratumoral injection of Pingyangmycin and iohexol under DSA and fluoroscopy, and followed up in Kunming children's hospital. Result:Forty-eight cases of children were treated 1 to 5 intratumoral injection of Pingyangmycin and iohexol that carried out under DSA and fluoroscopy. Follow up ranged from 6 to 18 months, 22 cases (45.83%) were cured, 19 cases (39.85%) were markedly effective, 5 cases (10.42%) were effective and 2 cases (4.17%) were ineffective. The total effective rate was 95.83% with no scarring, pigmentation and significant postoperative complications. Conclusion:Intratumoral injection of Pingyangmycin under DSA is an effective and safe method for treatment of lymphatic malformations in children and has the advantages of positioning accuracy, less damage, fewer complication and no influence on apperarence and function.
