Computer guided resection and reconstruction of intra-osseouszygomatic hemangioma: Case report and systematic review ofliterature
to systemically integrate the available data on various published treatment strategies for intraosseous hemangioma of the zygoma in an updated comprehensive systematic review, and to present a new case of treated resection and immediate reconstruction using computer guided patient specific composite graft.
• CASE PRESENTATION: A 29 years old female patient with intraosseos zygomatic hemangioma treated using computer guided resection and immediate reconstruction. The resection was performed using a resection template constructed based on preoperative 3D planning.
The reconstruction was performed using ramus bone graft and titanium mesh. The patient was followed up for 3 years with no complications.
• METHODS: An electronic search was performed on 3 data bases; additional hand search of bibliographies of selected articles was performed. Eligibility criteria include human studies presenting intraosseous zygomatico-orbital hemangioma with clearly reported therapeutic strategies.
• RESULTS: 53 articles with 73 cases were included. The lesion was highly prevalent in females compared to males (2.28:1). Fifth decade represents the highest prevalence with mean age of 44.1 ± 1.8 years. The main patient concern was swelling and facial deformity. Total tumor resection can assure no recurrence,while partial resection and curettage are associated with high recurrence rate.
