Objective: To review the safety, efficacy, and outcome of single-stage embolisation with n-butyl cyanoacrylate (n-BCA) followed by surgical resection for head and neck vascular malformations. Methods: Medical records of patients who underwent single-stage embolisation with n-BCA followed by surgical resection for vascular malformations at the head and neck region between October 2011 and April 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Results: A total of 10 men and 17 women (mean age, 36.7 years) was included. Symptoms included disfigurement (n = 27), haemorrhage (n = 4), and visual impairment (n = 2). The mean lesion size in the largest dimension was 2.9 cm. Lesions were located in the scalp (n = 4), orbit (n = 11), oral cavity (n = 3), lip (n = 3), face (n = 4), and neck (n = 2). The mean operating time was 201 minutes. Five patients required further embolisation during surgery; 18 patients had complete resection and nine had partial resection. The mean length of hospital stay was 4.7 days; 22 patients had uneventful recovery and the other five had minor complications. The mean follow-up period was 20.6 months. All patients had good cosmetic outcome and symptom control. One patient who underwent partial resection had recurrent symptoms but required no further treatment. Conclusions: Single-stage embolisation with n-BCA followed by surgical excision for management of vascular malformations of the head and neck region is safe and effective with minimal complications.
