Tóm tắt

BACKGROUND: Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is characterized by abnormal blood vessel formation. One treatment for HHT-related arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) is sclerotherapy, which collapses the blood vessels by irritating the endothelial lining. METHODS: This case series describes two HHT patients undergoing in-office sodium tetradecyl sulfate sclerotherapy for non-nasal telangiectasias and AVMs. The first patient had AVMs on the red lip while the second patient had an AVM and several telangiectasias on the tongue. RESULTS: Both patients' AVMs required only one treatment visit and were no longer noticeable within a week. Neither of the patients had any side effects from treatment. CONCLUSION: Sclerotherapy was used to successfully treat HHT-related AVMs in-office with no scarring and is an option that should be considered by providers.
