Abstract
Ethanol is often used in sclerotherapy to treat vascular malformations Nerve injury is a known complication of this procedure However the management of this complication is not well described in literature This case describes a 10yearold boy with a slow flow vascular malformation in the right calf who underwent transarterial ethanol embolization following prior unsuccessful direct percutaneous sclerotherapy The development of a dense foot drop that subsequently recovered is described and the management of this uncommon but distressful complication is discussed
