Management Of Arterio Venous Vascular Malformation Masquerading As A Mucocele Using Sclerotherapy-Review Of Literature

The management of vascular anomalies is an extremely challenging area and is as as divergent as the nature of the lesions. Traditionally, embolization with the resection of the lesion has been used. The purpose of this report is to present a case treated successfully using sclerosing solution injections alone. METHODS: Management of the arterio venous malformation using Intralesional injections of sodium tetradecyl sulfate to the lesion is discussed . The procedure was performed two times at two weeks interval . Imaging was performed using Dopplers ultra sonography . RESULTS: Complete resolution of the lesion was found following sclerotherapy. CONCLUSIONS: Conservative interventional management using Intra lesional injection of sclerosing solution was successful in treating vascular anomaly.
