Abstract

Objective: The article aims to describe clinical, subclinical characteristics and results of treatment of localized head and neck venous malformations using preoperative glue embolization and excision. Methods: Our study was performed on 19 patients at Viet Duc hospital in the period of time between 2020 and 2023. The assessment was performed before operation, during operation and 6-month postoperation. Results: VMs contribute mainly at cheek (42,1%) and neck (26,3%) region, muscle layer was invaded in 74% of patients, 100% of VMs is well defined. There is no complication by glue embolization. 89,5% of cases had minimal blood loss during the operations. 100% of surgery had total resection of VMs without critical structures injury. The 6-month postoperative recurrent rate is 0%. Conclusion: Preoperative glue embolization following the single-stage excision is a safe and effective procedure for treatment of localized head and neck venous malformations.
