Objective: To analyze the clinical data and summarize therapeutic experiences of cervicofacial venous malformations involving isthmus faucium area. Methods: Clinical records from 143 patients with venous malformations involving isthmus faucium area treated at our hospital between January 2012 and January 2016 were reviewed. There were 70 males and 73 females. Age ranged from 1 to 52 years old, with a median age of 14.5 years. There were 19 cases with lesions involving in only 1 subanatomic area above and 124 cases with lesions involving in more than 1 subanatomic areas, including 63 cases with lesions involving in more than 2 areas. There were 50 patients presenting with additional maxillofacial and cervical lesions. Clinical symptoms included snoring (n=98), indistinct phonation (n=49), and tonsil hypertrophy more than degree Ⅱ (n=19). Tracheotomy was performed in 3 patients prior to hospitalization, contigency tracheotomy during hospitalization in 10 patients, and oral trachea cannula in other patients. All therapeutic procedures, including single chemical ablation with ethanol injection (n=94), single lesion resection (n=9) and both of them (n=40), were performed under general anesthesia. Treatment remedies included mesh suture, macroglossia reduction and excision of maxillofacial and cervical lesions for patients presenting with extensive malformations extending to maxillofacial and cervical area. Tonsil resection were done in patients having tonsil venous malformations or tonsil hypertrophy more than degree II. Achauer's 4-grade criterion was applied to evaluate the treatment outcomes. SPSS 18.0 software was used to analyze the data. Results: Trachea cannula were not extubated untill 24 to 48 hours after treatment. Emergency tracheotomy was done in 2 cases after extubations because of dyspnea, and successful extubations were obtained in other cases. There were no advents of pulmonary vascular spasm or pulmonary embolism. There was significant difference between before and after operation (snore: χ(2)=105.431, ambiguous pronunciation: χ(2)=59.698, tonsil hypertrophy more than degree Ⅱ: χ(2)=33.530, all P<0.01). The patients were followed-up for 1-4 years, and there were 123 cases at grade Ⅳ (complete disappear of lesions in 62 cases without recurrence), 17 at grade Ⅲ , 3 at grade Ⅱ, and no case at gradeⅠ. Conclusions: Chemical ablation with ethanol injection for venous malformations involving isthmus faucium area is recommended, wheras combined remedies including injection, mesh suture, macroglossia reduction, and excision of cervicofacial lesions are suggested in treatment of extensive lesions extending to maxillofacial and cervical area. Tonsil resection should be done in patients having tonsil venous malformations or tonsil hypertrophy more than degree Ⅱ, which is safe and highly effective, with good reservation of function, in the treatment of maxillofacial and cervical venous malformations involving isthmus faucium area.
