- Abstract
This article is a literature review and case report of two patients with CLOVES syndrome who were treated with sclerotherapy. The first case involved an 18-month-old boy who received sclerotherapy injections for a large venous and lymphatic malformation. After two sessions of sclerotherapy, the lesion completely resolved with no recurrence. The second case was a 1-month-old baby girl who developed respiratory distress and died before receiving sclerotherapy. CLOVES syndrome is a rare overgrowth syndrome characterized by lipomatous overgrowth, vascular malformations, epidermal nevi, and spinal/skeletal deformities. Sclerotherapy with bleomycin has shown promising results in treating the vascular component of CLOVES syndrome.
