Objective To comfirm the therapeutic effects of copper needle punctured into cavernous hemangioma to explore a more effective and safer method. Methods After local anesthesia, the copper needles were inserted into the cavernous hemangioma with different depth. The needles must be parallel to major nerves and blood vessels. The distance between the two puctured points was 1 to 2cm. The needles were removed after 7 to 9 days. And the copper needles embolism employing exogenous electric current at 3 or 4 5V for 20 to 30 mins, and inserting the needles with the help of high-frequency color doppler ultrasonography, were also performed in this study. Results Forty-eight patients were treated by this method. The follow-up of 1 to 4 years showed that the general effective rate was 100%. Conclusions It is effective, simple and safe method with less complication that copper needle puncturing for the treatment of cavernous hemangioma. Copper needle with electric current is suitable for treating cavernous hemangioma of the face, neck and joints. It is a safer and more effective method that copper needles puncturing for the therapy of cavernous hemangioma under the guidance of the high-frequncy color doppler ultrasonography.
