Management of Parotid Fistula/Sinus with Sodium Tetradecyl Sulfate

Inhibition of tooth development with a sclerosing agent, sodium tetradecyl sulfate.

Role of sclerotherapy in management of vascular malformation in the maxillofacial region: Our experience

The management of vascular anomalies is an extremely challenging area and is as divergent as the nature of lesions. Traditionally, embolization with the resection of the lesion has been used. The purpose of this report is to present cases treated successfully using sclerosing solution injections alone. Management of the vascular malformation using intralesional injections of sodium tetradecyl s...

Preoperative Sclerotherapy Using Sodium Tetradecyl Sulphate (Fibro-Vein™) Can Assist in the Management of Vertebral Hemangiomas

Vertebral hemangiomas are benign lesions accounting for 2 to 3% of all spinal tumors. They are usually asymptomatic and found incidentally on imaging. Uncommonly, vertebral hemangiomas with significant epidural extension can result in radiculopathy or spinal cord compression. Decompressive surgery with or without stabilization is often required when neurological deficits are present. However, s...

Coagulation abnormalities in pediatric and adult patients after sclerotherapy or embolization of vascular anomalies.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of our study was to examine the coagulation status in patients with vascular anomalies who had undergone sclerotherapy or embolization. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Ours was a prospective pilot study of 29 patients who had undergone sclerotherapy or embolization of large vascular anomalies. Fibrinogen, platelet, and d-dimer levels and prothrombin time were obtained before, immed...
