Year: 2026
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: ABSTRACT Giant cervico‐laryngopharyngeal venous malformations are rare vascular anomalies that can cause life‐threatening airway obstruction, posing significant challenges in clinical management. A staged, multidisciplinary approach combining safe tracheostomy and transoral endoscopic sclerotherapy can effectively restore airway patency while minimizing surgical risk.
