20.500.12556/DiRROS-18801 Treatment of tongue cavernous haemangioma with direct puncture and sclerotization with ethanol Background. Haemangiomas of tongue are rare type of malformations. They can be treated mostly conservatively but in some cases they need more aggressive treatment with preoperative intra arterial embolization and surgical resection. Lesions of tongue that are localized superficially can also be treated with direct puncture and injection of sclerosing agent (absolute ethanol). Case report. We present a case of a 48 years old female patient, where we performed embolization of cavernous haemangioma with mixture of absolute ethanol and oil contrast. After the procedure the patient received analgetics and antioedematous therapy. After the sclerotization the planed surgery was abandoned. Control MRI examinations 6 and 12 months after the procedure showed only a small remnant of haemangioma and no signs of a larger relapse. Conclusion. In our case the direct puncture of haemangioma and sclerotherapy with ethanol proved to be a safe and effective method to achieve preoperative devascularization of the lesion. Direct puncture of the lesion is not limited by the anatomy of the vessels or vasospasm, which can occur during the intra-arterial approach. vaskularne nepravilnosti hemangiom sklerotizacija punkcija etanol kontrastno sredstvo true false true Association of Radiology and Oncology Ljubljana Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik by Authors Neznano 2024-04-23 09:04:32 2024-04-23 09:04:32 2024-04-24 03:39:27 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2015 0 0 str. 75-79, VI no. 1 Vol. 49 mar. 2015 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2015-03-01 616.313 1318-2099 10.2478/raon-2014-0006 5114687 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4362610/pdf/rado-49-01-75.pdf 1 f9edd35a-012e-11ef-b1b4-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=25722 RAZ_Seruga_Tomaz_2015.pdf RAZ_Seruga_Tomaz_2015.pdf 1 26AC587D0D3C4FC4F57DA0AEEBBBD330 e86d2531b85516b70f44171e484d99fb3b24efdfd1c7a2e1c283e30ece861a48 dfe71958-0130-11ef-b1b4-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=25724 Onkološki inštitut Ljubljana 0 0 0
