Article Synopsis
- Treatment of facial angiofibromas in tuberous sclerosis is challenging due to the lesions affecting the entire dermis.
- Five patients aged 14 to 33 underwent a surgical procedure that involved excising the lesions and grafting cultured epithelial autografts from their own skin.
- All patients healed well within 10 days post-surgery without significant scarring, although some mild regrowth of lesions was noted five years later, which was considered acceptable.
Purpose: To compare the preliminary results of hemodynamic changes between duplex-guided foam sclerotherapy and duplex-guided liquid sclerotherapy.
Methods: Seventy Seven limbs in 77 patients with isolated greater saphenous vein incompetence were treated with duplex-guided sclerotherapy. Thirty Seven limbs were treated with duplex-guided foam sclerotherapy and the remaining 40 limbs were treated with duplex-guided liquid sclerotherapy.
Background And Objectives: Nevus of Ota is a form of dermal melanocytic hamartoma that appears as a bluish discoloration in the trigeminal region. Although Q-switched lasers provide effective treatment, the appropriate age at which to start that treatment is not known. Our aim is to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of Q-switched ruby laser (QSRL) in the treatment of nevus of Ota in different age groups.
