The present report describes a case of acute airway obstruction in a newborn caused by an expanding hemorrhagic macrocystic lymphatic malformation (LM), which was successfully treated with emergent decompression and interventional radiology-guided sclerotherapy. The use of sclerotherapy for macrocystic LMs has been well described for various indications. The urgent interventional treatment obvi...

Thyroid nodule is one of the most frequently encountered thyroid diseases. High resolution ultrasonography (US) is sensitive and capable of detecting detailed anatomy of thyroid including nodules. Tc-99m thyroid scan is a well established and inexpensive imaging modality for many thyroid disorders. The aim of this study was to detect the effectiveness of percutaneous ethanol injection therapy (...

Intralesional sclerotherapy as a primary modality of management for cystic hygroma is successfully described in literature. It has many benefits over surgical approach; recurrence being the concern of as much as 20% of patients in which apparent complete excision has been performed. Bleomycin is one of sclerosing agents used as intralesional therapy in cystic hygroma. Complete response usually ...

In September 1982, a prospective randomized trial comparing shunt surgery and endoscopic sclerotherapy for the elective management of variceal hemorrhage in patients with cirrhosis was initiated. Twenty-seven patients have received shunts (distal splenorenal 23, nonselective 4) and 30 patients have had chronic sclerotherapy. Eighty-six per cent of patients had alcoholic cirrhosis and 33% were C...

Orbital arteriovenous malformations (AVM) are identified by abnormal high-flow connections between the veins and arteries, which often supplied branches of internal external carotid also with a nidus cellular stroma distributed vessels. rare among all congenital malformations. Pain, glaucoma, optic nerve ischemia compression retinal some causes enlarging orbital AVMs. Because nature these lesio...

Abstract Introduction To evaluate the efficacy and safety of EST, particularly foamed STS 3% in treatment arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) a single specialist centre. Methods All patients with AVMs who underwent EST from 01 January 2015–31 December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Types AVM grouped into Schobinger's classification. ESTs performed either foam sclerosants (STS polidocanol), ...

One hundred and twenty two patients who presented with variceal bleeding as a result of extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPO) were entered into the sclerotherapy programme with a mean follow up of 23.69 months (range four to 60 months). Eighteen (14.7%) patients were lost to follow up, three (2.4%) patients underwent surgery, and six (4.9%) patients died. Variceal obliteration was achieve...

Bleeding from ectopic varices is often massive and fatal with portal hypertension, and stomal varices can occur in patients with stoma. We aimed to treat a hepatitis B surface antigen positive 69 year-old male with liver cirrhosis associated hepatocellular carcinoma with bleeding stomal varices using percutaneous injection sclerotherapy. Percutaneous injection sclerotherapy was performed under ...
