title: Sclerotherapy of oral and facial venous malformations with use of pingyangmycin and/or sodium morrhuate.
abstract: Two hundred and sixty patients with oral and facial venous malformations received intralesional injections of either pingyangmycin, sodium morrhuate, or pingyangmycin alternating with sodium morrhuate. Results were rated excellent, good, fair, or poor, depending on clinical outcome. The prevalence of an "excellent" rating in the combined sclerotherapy group (82%) was higher than that in the pingyangmycin group (71%) and the sodium morrhuate group (61%). Swelling and pain following injection were commonly associated with the use of sodium morrhuate. Sclerotherapy with pingyangmycin or sodium morrhuate is an effective and safe treatment for oral and facial venous malformations. Alternate injection of pingyangmycin and sodium morrhuate appears to be more effective for venous malformations than using sclerosant alone.
