OBJECTIVETo explore the factors that affect the curative effect and the best method of treatment for the patients with maxillofacial cavernous hemangiomas.
METHODS102 cases of maxillofacial cavernous hemangiomas were performed DSA examination and taken serial photography. According to the diameter, number and draining speed of efferent veins of the tumor, the cavernous hemangiomas were classified into two types-the high efferent speed and low efferent speed type. For all of them, were randomly performed embolization of efferent veins with absolute ethanol plus bleomycin-A5 intratumor injection (group I) and bleomycin-A5 intratumor injection alone (group II).
RESULTSThe cure rate and general effective rate has significant difference (P < 0.01) between two groups in 70 patients with high efferent speed veins, while no significant difference (P > 0.05) in 32 patients with low efferent speed veins.
CONCLUSIONSThis new classification is beneficial for seeking method of treatment. The embolization of efferent veins is an effective method for cavernous hemangioma with high efferent speed veins; but for the type with low efferent speed veins, bleomycin-A5 intratumor injection alone could acquire a good results.

Objective:
To explore the clinical classification of microcystic lymphatic malformations of tongue and observe the treatment of microcystic lymphatic malformations of tongue by retrospective analysis, in order to provide reference for clinical practice.
Methods:
From October 2005 to October 2015, the complete data of 220 cases of microcystic lymphatic malformations of tongue (115 males and 105 females) received and treated in Provincial Special Department of Vascular Anomalies, Linyi Tumor Hospital was analyzed retrospectively. The age ranged from 8 months to 52 years old, with a median age of 16 years old. All patients were followed up for 3 years, and according to their clinical manifestations, they were divided into three types: localized type of 23 cases, diffuse type of 161 cases, and megaloglossia type of 36 cases. Injection with pingyangmycin merely was performed on 58 cases, whereas merely surgery on 20 cases, injection with pingyangmycin combined with high frequency electrocoagulation on 55 cases, and surgery combined with injection with pingyangmycin on 87 cases. The therapeutic effect was evaluated according to the grade 4 standard. The χ2 test was used for statistical analysis of count data. Rank sum test was used for statistical analysis of ranked data.
Results:
The percentage of surgery merely of localized type was 87.0% (20/23), significantly higher than that of other types of lesions [0% (0/197)] (χ2=178.060,

Data of patients with maxillofacial and jugular venous malformations involving isthmus faucium area from January 2012 to July 2016 were collected. Patients were questioned about the medical history before operation, and the airway was adequately evaluated. The patients diagnosed as having non-difficult airways were endotracheally tubed using fast induction of anesthesia. Tracheal intubation was per-formed using fast induction of anesthesia combined with topical anesthesia after visual laryngoscopy in the patients assessed as having difficult airways. Endotracheal intubation was guided with a visual hard endo-scope or a fibrobronchoscope in the patients with difficulty in opening mouth after multiple treatments. Post-operative airway management was as follows: the tracheal tube was removed after extubation, the tracheal tube was retained for 24-48 h, or preventive tracheotomy was performed. Oxygen was inhaled by mask. A total of 157 patients were included in this study, 55 patients diagnosed as having difficult airways, and a-mong the 55 patients, 87% cases were intubated after visual laryngoscopy and 13% cases received tracheot-omy. There were 10 patients with difficulty in opening mouth after multiple treatments and 5 cases under-went tracheotomy in the outer hospital. Sixteen patients presented with a transient increase in airway pres-sure during intraoperative injection of anhydrous ethanol. There were 106 cases in whom the tracheal tube was removed immediately after emergence, and among them, 32. 1% cases needed tongue traction and 2. 8% cases underwent emergency tracheotomy after extubation. Thirty-eight patients needed to retain the tracheal tube for 24-48 h after operation, and among them, 37% cases needed tongue traction and 3% ca-ses required emergency tracheotomy after extubation. Thirteen cases underwent preventive tracheotomy. The preoperative visit and assessment are especially important, appropriate airway management strategies should be developed, vital signs should be closely observed during operation, and the timing of extubation should be grasped for this type of patients, and the SpO2 and airway pressure should be mainly observed during op-eration especially for the patients who underwent anhydrous ethanol injection.

Objective:
To evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of radiofrequency ablation(RFA) for complicated diffuse arteriovenous malformations.
Methods:
From Dec. 2014 to Dec. 2016, 12 cases with complicated diffuse arterioveneous malformations were treated by RFA in our hospital. The clinical records were retrospectively reviewed. The lesion size ranged from 10 cm×7 cm to 28 cm×30 cm. Ablation procedures with " high power and long time" technique were performed under real time color Doppler monitoring. The impedance model were used and ablation needles were punctured into core lesions with the most abundant blood flow. Power was set as 90 to 110 W for central core lesions, and 60 to 80 W for superficial or surrounding lesions. The average ablation time was from 60 to 90 min (average, 75 min). Next treatment would be performed 3 months later when neccessary. The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated on a 4-level scale.
Results:
Hyperpyrexia occurred in 1 patients during first and second treatments. Transient postoperative hemoglobinuria occurred in 2 patient. Full thickness defects induced by tissue necrosis in the original ulcer area of cheek occurred in 1 patient, which was reconstructed with pedicle Trapezius muscle myocutaneous flap. Bleeding symptom in 7 cases stopped after only 1 treatment. After a follow-up period of 1-3 years, the efficacy was graded as Ⅳ in 8 case, as Ⅲ in 4 cases.
Conclusions
For complicated diffuse arteriovenous malformations, radio frequency ablation with "high power and long time" technique under real time color Doppler monitoring can completely damage the deep core soft lesions, and control the life-threatening hemorrhage effectively, which can be recommended as the alternative therapy when surgery, interventional embolizationor or sclerosant injection can not control the lesions.
