Abstract
- Abstract: Arteriovenous malformation (AVM) sometimes causes hemorrhage that can be fatal. We report a case of AVM of the tongue with bleeding that was treated by semi-emergent sclerotherapy with polidocanol. A 33-year-old woman presented with Schobinger stage III AVM of the tongue. Sclerotherapy with 3% polidocanol foam was performed under general anesthesia using curved intestinal forceps to clamp the root of the tongue for control of blood flow. Postoperatively, there was no further bleeding from the lesion. Three subsequent sclerotherapy sessions with polidocanol were performed, and there was a marked reduction in the size of the lesion. The lesion has remained well controlled in the year since the last sclerotherapy session.<br />Competing Interests: The authors report no conflicts of interest.<br /> (Copyright © 2021 by Mutaz B.
