Venolymphatic Malformation

  • Previously known as Lymphangioma
  • Lesions with more venous component have more difficult course.
  • Ultrasound localization
  • Sclerosing agents
    • absolute etoh,
    • bleomycin, doxycycline foam (albumin+air)
    • sodium tetradecyl sulfate (with gel foam)
  • Strategies
    • dual agent therapies for macrocysts
    • foam for microcysts
  • Complications
    • diplopia, corneal exposure, mydriasis! increased IOP, orbital compartment syndrome, corneal/globe penetration
  • Shortcomings of sclerosing treatment
    • won't affect fibrous component
    • multiple treatments often needed
