Background: SWS leads to nevus flammeus in the area of III cranial
nerve. This pathology is a cosmetic problem. Different laser systems are
used in the treatment of this vascular abnormality.
Patients and methods: 3 patients, two 12-years old girls and one
33-years old man, were treated by the use of the Pro-Yelllow laser (Asclepion
Meditec AG, Jena). The Pro-Yellow laser is a copper-bromide laser with
two wavelengths: 578 nm (yellow) and 511 nm (green). Coagulation was applied
step wise with the following parameters: 578 nm, 2.4-3.0 W, 20-30 ms and
32 J/cm2(max).
Results: The port wine stains of the nevus flammeus were reduced.
Postoperatively the treated areas had a whitish thickening of the skin
without crust. In the following course the skin recovered normally without
scarring.
Conclusion: The wavelength of 587 nm of the laser is selectively
absorbed in the pathological vessels. A milde coagulation with almost
no pain is possible and the surrounding area is irritated only slightly.
The Pro-Yellow laser offers a new technology for convinient treatment
of vascular abnormalities in the face and the periorbital region.
