Article Synopsis
- Lymphatic malformations (LMs) are congenital issues resulting from vascular development errors, with abdominal cases being rare and typically treated through surgery, which often leads to complications.
- A study reviewed 10 pediatric patients with abdominal LMs who underwent sclerotherapy from 2014 to 2018, finding that most had macrocystic types and presented with symptoms like abdominal pain and distention.
- The results showed that sclerotherapy led to a significant volume reduction (average of 96.7%) and complete resolution of symptoms in most patients, suggesting it may be a more effective treatment option than surgery.
