Abstract:
There are two major types of vascular birthmarks, hemangiomas, those demonstrating endothelial hyperplasia, and malformation, those with normal endothelial turnover. Venous malformations have previously been treated by surgical excision, where possible. Although not a panacea for all such tumors, the use of sclerosing agents is decidedly preferable in some cases to extirpation with a scapel. The method involves the direct injection of absolute alcohol into the lesion on the fluoroscopic guide. The effect of treatment is satisfactory and there appears tobe no long term complication. We report 2 cases of surgically irresectable and deep-seated venous malformation which were treated sclerotherapy using ethanol.
