Ethanol injection therapy for oral haemangiomas
نویسندگان
چکیده
Objective: The objective was to simply and effectively treat oral haemangiomas without complications using ethanol injection. Methods: As much blood as possible was aspirated from a haemangioma, and then absolute ethanol was injected into the cavity. For especially large haemangiomas, we repeated the treatment. Results: Good results were obtained without complications, no enlargement or recurrence of the haemangiomas, no pain, swelling, or deformation. Conclusion: Aspiration of blood and ethanol injection therapy for symptomatic oral haemangiomas is safe, effective, easy to perform, and results in minimal deformation and scarring.
