title: N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) tissue adhesive as a haemostatic agent in a venous malformation of the mandible.
abstract: Cyanoacrylate tissue glue has many uses. We describe a case involving a 27-year-old man with a low-flow venous malformation that affected the right side of his face including the mandible. After extraction of the lower right eight, torrential haemorrhage was successfully arrested using N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) glue. We think that it may be of use not only in the management of patients with vascular malformations, but also in the treatment of recalcitrant haemorrhage after dentoalveolar surgery.
