متن کاملA Comparison of Acquired Port-wine Stain with Congenital Port-wine Stain Using an Image Analyzer.

Pulsed dye laser (PDL) therapy is regarded as the treatment of choice in PWS. Although in some articles, APWS might have shown a better response to PDL than CPWS, this is still controversial. It has been assumed however...
متن کاملPort-wine-stain with rare associations in two cases from Kuwait: Phakomatosis pigmentovascularis redefined
The association of a vascular lesion with melanocytic nevi was first described by Ota et, al in 1947, and given the name phakomatosis pigmentovascularis(PPV).

Our first case is a 12-year-old Kuwaiti boy who had extensive port-wine stain (nevus flammeu...
متن کامل[Laser treatment of port wine stain].
Laser treatment of vascular skin lesions is rapidly improving. Port wine stain (PWS) is one of the first lesions successfully treated with laser. The pulsed dye laser (PDL) has been developed on the concept of selective photothermolysis and has revolutionized PWS treatment. Even though the response is variable, substantial blanching can be obtained after several sessions. Greater selectivity an...
