The Sclerotherapy-An Efficacious Approach in the Management of Vascular Lesions and Pyogenic Granuloma : Case Series with Literature Review

© Association of Otolaryngologists of India 2020..

Sclerotherapy is a targeted elimination of small vessels, varicose veins, and vascular anomalies by the injection of a sclerosant. Sclerotherapy aims to damage the vessel wall and transform it into fibrous tissue. The present study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of a sclerosing agent 3% polidocanol in the treatment of vascular lesions and pyogenic granuloma. The solution was injected intralesionally at multiple sites and was repeated after an interval of 2 weeks. The treatment effect was determined by clinical examination. Sclerotherapy with 3% polidocanol is effective in the treatment of vascular lesions and pyogenic granuloma. This treatment modality offers an alternative to conventional methods such as surgical excision, laser therapy, cryotherapy, steroid therapy, etc., in cases where conservative treatment is preferable. The advantage is that it causes minimal discomfort, negligible blood loss, less cumbersome, and above all is economical. There is no requirement of local anesthesia or postoperative dressings or any specific care. The patient can resume his daily activities immediately.
