Unlabelled:
An 8-year-old male presented with a mass in the left supraclavicular region first noted 3 months earlier and which gradually became more prominent. Ultrasound showed a lobular, well-delineated hypoechoic lesion which increased in size on Valsalva manoeuvre. Doppler waveform analysis suggested a slow flow vascular lesion. Venography showed a saccular, multilobular venous malformation which connected with the external jugular and subclavian veins. With an angiographic catheter, the venous malformation was treated by endovascular sclerotherapy. Four weeks later, ultrasonography showed a resolution of the lesion.
Conclusion:
Endovascular sclerotherapy appears to be an effective and safe treatment for jugular venous malformation.
