| Popis: | With the progress of multidisciplinary vascular anomaly treatment, the use of radiotherapy, cryotherapy, laser therapy and medical treatments, the corticosteroid, sclerotherapy, and many more, the role of surgery has been refined. Surgical treatment has historically been the mainstay of treatment and will maintain.A miniature tourniquet technique applied to the tongue was successfully utilized in reducing bleeding to a minimum during surgical resection of a massive cavernous hemangioma involving the tongue and lower lip without any postoperative complications.Comprehensions of the neurovascular anatomy of the tongue, vasculature, innervations, and muscles physiological functions are very important for selecting the right surgical approach.A 9-year-old girl presented with giant hemangioma resulting in severe protrusions of the anterior and lateral two-thirds of the tongue with an extensive anterior open bite jaw deformity and oral physiological dysfunctions as speech, mastication, and deglutition. Such a presentation is a unique surgical challenge due to the high risk of bleeding, tongue swelling, and airway compromise.Postsurgical results showed oral physiological function improvement and the elimination of interaction effects on anterior open bite. |
