Abstract

Lymphangiomas, or cystic hygromas, are relatively uncommon congenital malformations of the lymphatic system that usually diagnosed during the neonatal period and usually localized in the head and neck. Surgery is the first-line treatment of lymphangiomas, however, surgery can be challenging due to the close relationship between the cysts and important neurovascular structures at anatomic neighborhood and high recurrence potential. Among the alternative therapies, sclerotherapy has been at the forefront in recent years. In this paper, we report a case of a patient, who was referred with sudden respiratory distress and underwent emergency tracheostomy, and discuss lymphangiomas and treatment options in the light of the literature.

Özet

Lenfanjiyom veya kistik higroma lenfatik sistemin nadir görülen doğuştan malformasyonudur ve genellikle yenidoğan döneminde tanı alırlar ve genellikle baş boyun bölgesinde yerleşirler. Tedavide cerrahi ilk seçenektir ancak kistler ve anatomik komşuluğundaki önemli nörovasküler yapılar arasındaki ilişki nedeniyle cerrahi eksizyonu zor olabilir ve nüks olasılığı yüksektir. Seçenek tedaviler arasında son yıllarda skleroterapi öne çıkmaktadır. Biz bu olgu sunumunda ani solunum sıkıntısı ile başvuran ve acil trakeostomi açılan olguyu sunarak lenfanjiyom ve tedavi seçeneklerini literatür bilgileri ışığında tartışmayı hedefledik.
