Abstract

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.
