# Infective Necrotizing Scleritis Post-percutaneous Sclerotherapy for Orbitofacial Venous Malformation

## TL;DR

A patient with an orbitofacial venous malformation developed a rare complication after a ninth sclerotherapy session.

## Contribution

This case highlights a rare complication of percutaneous sclerotherapy for orbitofacial venous malformations.

## Key findings

- The patient had a history of eight successful sclerotherapy sessions.
- A rare complication occurred after the ninth session involving sodium tetradecyl sulfate injection.

## Abstract

Orbitofacial venous malformations (VMs) remain a challenge for the treating physician and often require a multidisciplinary treatment approach. Percutaneous sclerotherapy has been widely used as an alternative to surgical excision due to its favorable effectiveness and safety profile. We report a case of a patient with a known history of orbitofacial VM, previously treated with eight sessions of percutaneous sclerotherapy, who developed a rare complication following a ninth session involving sodium tetradecyl sulfate injection.
