Abstract

Objectives: To determine the eff ectiveness of using sodium tetradecyl sulphate foam sclerotherapy in the treatment of venous malformations of oral cavity.
Materials and Methods: In this quasi-experimental study 21 patients presenting with oral venous malformations at oral and maxillofacial OPD from 1-1-2017 till 31-12-2018 were included. After confi rmation of the diagnosis with color Doppler ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging, we used direct injections of 3% STS foam using a 25G needle at a dose of 1ml per cm3. The injection was repeated up to a maximum of six times until a favorable response (50% reduction) was achieved. The results were recorded and analyzed by SPSS version 23.
Results: The mean age of patient was 37.33±9.91 years. There were 10 males (47.6%) and 11 females (52.4%) patients. Site of the lesion was buccal mucosa in 12(57.1%) patients and 9(42.9%) patients had lesion on tongue. Treatment response showed that only 23.8% patients had complete treatment response, 28.6% patients had good treatment outcome and 33.3% patients had moderate treatment outcome and 14.3% patients had no response. Side eff ects experienced by patients were edema (42.9%), pain (23.8%) and ulceration (19%).
Conclusion: STS is an eff ective treatment of VMs and can be used with minimal side effects and favorable results.
