Abstract
Here, we report our experience treating a patient with Maffucci syndrome and evaluate the outcomes resulting from surgical management combined with sclerotherapy in the treatment of head and neck venous malformations (VMs). A 19-years-old woman with multiple enchondromas and heterauxesis complained of masses in the oral cavity that had gradually increased in size and eventually affected her daily life. A tracheotomy was performed followed by traditional sclerotherapy to treat the oropharyngeal VMs. Next, we surgically excised the VMs of the oral cavity and maxillofacial skin. Magnetic resonance imaging indicated that the oral VMs were nearly eradicated and the oropharyngeal VMs had stabilized. The patient's appearance and normal maxillofacial region function were restored. In summary, local resection combined with sclerotherapy facilitated timely and efficient VMs removal from the head and neck region of a patient with Maffucci syndrome.
