Efficacy of foam sclerotherapy with polidocanol for the management of oral venous malformations.
Med Int (Lond) 2024
The present aimed to examine the effectiveness of polidocanol-based foam sclerotherapy for oral venous malformations (OVMs). The present study performed a retrospective analysis of patients with OVMs who underwent sclerotherapy using polidocanol. Patients achieving the complete resolution of OVM were categorized as having a complete response (CR), those with a reduction in size from the initial diagnosis were categorized as having a partial response (PR), those with no change in size as stable disease (SD), and those with an increase in size as progressive disease (PD). A total of 16 patients, comprising 4 males and 12 females, underwent treatment with polidocanol foam therapy, covering 22 affected areas. The treatment administered resulted in CR in 6 cases and PR in 10 cases, with no instances of SD or PD. Apart from localized injection site pain or swelling, there were no severe side-effects reported, such as circulatory dynamic changes or skin necrosis. On the whole, these findings underscore the effectiveness of foam sclerotherapy with polidocanol as a viable treatment for venous malformations in the oral and maxillofacial regions.
