Introduction: Rectal prolapse is prevalent in children and the elderly, impacting quality of life significantly. Traditional surgical interventions carry risks, especially in pediatric patients. Ethanol sclerotherapy offers a less invasive alternative, inducing fibrosis and thickening of the rectal wall.

Tissue necrosis is a serious but rare complication of sclerotherapy. Early detection and targeted management are essential to prevent progression and minimise serious complications. In the first instalment of this paper, we reviewed the pathogenic mechanisms of post-sclerotherapy necrosis.

Tissue necrosis is a significant but uncommon complication of sclerotherapy. The pathogenic mechanisms of this often-debilitating complication have been poorly described in the literature. To elucidate the pathological mechanisms, we propose a morphological approach to classify sclerotherapy-induced skin necrosis into two categories of round and stellate (star-like) necrosis.

Background: Vascular malformations (VMs) involving the hand and forearm in children provide management challenges due to complex anatomy, indispensable functionality and developmental implications.
Methods: The institution's Vascular Registry was searched for patients with hand and arm VMs, supplemented by chart review of included patients.
Results: Twenty-one patients were identified, 52% male, with mean presenting age 5.

Background: Slow-flow vascular malformations (SFVM) are associated with localized intravascular coagulopathy (LIC), which is characterized by elevated D-dimer and, when severe, hypofibrinogenemia. LIC results in intralesional clotting and hemorrhage and increases risk for significant thrombotic and bleeding complications. Sclerotherapy has been a suggested potential trigger for LIC worsening to disseminated intravascular coagulopathy.
