ABSTRACT
Vascular Malformations are rare anomalies occurring in the Head and Neck region and rarest to be found intraorally. They are usually unnoticed in initial stages of life but may be progressive in later stages of life. Venous malformation is the most common type of vascular malformation affecting 1-4% of individuals worldwide. We present a very rare case of 37 year old adult male with massive venous malformation involving tongue, soft palate, retromolar region, nasopharynx, larynx and respiratory tract. Since the lesion is involving respiratory tract and larynx, there is every possibility of respiratory wall collapse and distress and loss of voice after sclerotherapy. Therefore it was decided to keep the patient is kept under regular observation/follow-up. This case is being reported because of its peculiar clinical presentation with involvement of vital organs.
Keywords: Massive Vascular Malformation, Venous Malformation, Sclerotherapy, Respiratory collapse.
