ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT: Surgical management of odontogenic infections in Sturge-Weber Syndrome is challenging, due to the risk of massive bleeding and difficulty to achieve hemostasis. The authors describe the use of preoperative vascular embolization for oral surgery in a 29-year-old patient. The authors highlight the importance of hemostatic agents and primary wound closure and the role of vascular embolization as a potential tool for preventing hemorrhage in these cases.

O hemangioma é uma neoplasia benigna que se caracteriza pela proliferação anormal de vasos sanguíneos, comum na região de cabeça e pescoço, e é relativamente raro na cavidade oral; porém, quando essa região é acometida, comumente, atinge lábios, língua e mucosa jugal. O objetivo deste trabalho foi descrever um caso clínico de hemangioma em mucosa jugal direita, o qual foi tratado através de escleroterapia com Oleato de Etanolamina (Ethamolin®), e ultras sonografia para guiar as aplicações intralesionais. No momento, a paciente está com 2 anos de acompanhamento, o que possibilitou observar a fibrose da lesão. A escleroterapia com Ethamolin® guiada por ultrassom é um procedimento seguro que pode ser realizado em lesões mais profundas, minimizando a possibilidade de complicações e favorecendo a recuperação do paciente.
Hemangioma is a benign neoplasm characterized by an abnormal proliferation of blood vessels, common in the head and neck region. It is relatively rare in the oral cavity, but if this region is affected, it occurs more commonly in the lips, tongue, and oral mucosa. The aim of this study was to describe a clinical case of hemangioma in the right jugal mucosa, which was treated through sclerotherapy with Ethanolamine Oleate (Ethamolin®), and the use of ultrasonography to guide the intralesional applications. Now, the patient has a 2-year follow-up, which allowed the observation of the involution of the lesion. The ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy with Ethamolin® is a safe procedure that can be performed in deeper lesions, minimizing the possibility of complications, and favoring the patient's recovery.
