Multidiscipline Therapy: Cervicofacial Vascular Anomaly With Macroglossia, Maxillofacial Deformity
Vascular malformations are congenital vascular developmental defects that usually grow slowly and persist throughout life. Venous malformations (VMs) are the most prevalent type of vascular anomalies, representing roughly 70% of all cases. VMs can cause significant pain, impaired mobility, disrupt organ function, and in severe cases, become life-threatening. Intralesional sclerotherapy after tracheotomy is a safe and effective treatment for extensive VMs involving oropharyngeal areas of the head and neck. For the first time, we present a life-threatening case in which tracheostomy was not feasible and describe the implemented multidiscipline treatment approaches.
