[The role of carbon dioxide lasers in the treatment of angiodysplasia (the so-called cavernous angioma)].
The authors present their experience of the use of carbon dioxide laser for the treatment of angiodysplasias (so-called "cavernous" angiomas). The reduction of operative haemorrhage and the simpler postoperative course resulting from the intraoperative and postoperative use of this technique have ensured very satisfactory results in a series of 76 patients. The limitations of the technique are defined. The authors also discuss the complex classification of "cavernous angiomas" and propose a synthetic clinical approach by combining the embryological, histological, evolutive and radiographic features of these lesions.
