Abstract EN
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of Nd: YAC laser on treatment oj hemangiomas (n=30) and vascular malformations (n=4).
A series of 27patients (6 males and 21 females) with an age ranged from 4 months to 22 years were included Most of patients (70.3%) were in their first year of life.
Of the 30 hemangiomas, 13 were classified as capillary, 12 as cavernous, and 5 as mixed hemangiomas.
Of the 34 vascular anomalies.
27 (70.6%) were located in the head and neck region.
The indications for laser therapy were cosmetic disfigurement in 26 (76.5%), functional problems such as visual field defects and feeding difficulties in 6 (17.6%), and ulceration or bleeding in 2 (5.9%) lesions.
Our patients were subjected to 132 laser treatments utilizing both non-contact and contact techniques of laser beam application Results were as follows: 64.7% lesions showed good response while 26.5% demonstrated fair response.
Dad response had occurred in 8.8% of lesions.
Complications of laser therapy included excessive scarring in 2(5.9%), ulceration in 3(8.8%) and bleeding in 1(2.9%) case.
These findings demonstrated that Nd: YAC laser therapy is a safe and effective treatment of vascular skin lesions that give satisfactory cosmetic and functional results without major side effects.
