Abstract

Vascular malformations can cause significant symptoms in young patients. Current treatment options, including injection sclerotherapy and surgery, are associated with significant morbidity. We report a case in which a symptomatic paediatric venous malformation was successfully treated using a combination of ultrasound-guided endovenous laser therapy and foam sclerotherapy.
