L. Deluca et al., MANAGEMENT OF AN EXTENSIVE CERVICOFACIAL LYMPHOVENOUS MALFORMATION OFTHE MAXILLOFACIAL REGION, Annals of plastic surgery, 36(6), 1996, pp. 644-648
The operative approach to extensive vascular anomalies of the maxillof
acial region with significant skeletal involvement demands considerabl
e preoperative planning and orthodontic intervention guided by a creat
ive surgical design. A case of a 17-year-old male with a middle and lo
wer face lymphovenous malformation, requiring a complex orthodontic an
d surgical approach, is reported here. Details regarding the preoperat
ive examination, orthodontic maneuvering, and the surgical procedures
are given. An overview of the classification and clinical implications
of craniofacial vascular anomalies is also presented.
