Ethanol Sclerotherapy (ethanol + sclerotherapy)
Selected AbstractsThoracic duct cyst: Sclerotherapy as alternative for surgical treatmentHEAD & NECK: JOURNAL FOR THE SCIENCES & SPECIALTIES OF THE HEAD AND NECK, Issue 3 2007Johannes J. Dool MD Abstract Background. Thoracic duct cysts of the cervical portion are rare benign lesions for which surgery is the treatment of choice. Methods. We present 2 cases of a thoracic duct cyst of the cervical portion. One patient was treated by surgery and the other patient by ethanol sclerotherapy. Results. After establishing diagnosis by radiologic assessment and chemical and cytological fine-needle aspirate of the cystic masses, both patients were treated successfully. Conclusion. Ethanol sclerotherapy provides an alternative therapy for thoracic duct cyst when evaluation establishes a high likelihood of clinical diagnosis. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck, 2007 [source] Cardiovascular collapse during ethanol sclerotherapy in a pediatric patientPEDIATRIC ANESTHESIA, Issue 3 2006G.A. WONG MD FANCZA Summary Ethanol sclerotherapy is a first line management therapy for low flow vascular malformations. It is usually performed under general anesthesia because of the pain associated with ethanol injection. Ethanol sclerotherapy frequently produces minor local complications but may rarely produce catastrophic cardiopulmonary complications. This report describes the cardiovascular collapse associated with an ethanol sclerotherapy procedure in an 11-year- old child. The evidence for ethanol-induced cardiovascular derangements is discussed.
