Journal Title: International Journal of Anatomy Radiology and Surgery - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: Vascular malformations are congenital lesions. There are various kinds of treatment methods and sclerotherapy with Sodium Tetradecyl Sulphate (STDS) as a sclerosing agent is one of the effective method. Aim: To assess therapeutic use of STDS in management of cutaneous vascular malformation. Materials and Methods: This prospective study was conducted in Department of Surgery at Rohilkhand Medical College and Hospital, Bareilly, U.P (West), India. Total 50 cases of uncomplicated cutaneous vascular malformation were studied prospectively and results were followed. The findings were noted on a structured protocol and were subsequently entered into MS-Excel 2013 software and subjected to statistical analysis. Results: The result showed the distribution of age most common in <10 years group, distribution of malformation site head and neck (38%) as most common site. Most of the patient responded in two sittings of sclerotherapy. Complete resolution was seen in 70% cases. Conclusion: Sclerotherapy was observed to be a relatively cost effective procedure with low complications, high patient satisfaction, and a high success rate and can be considered as a treatment option in all cases of uncomplicated cutaneous vascular malformation.
