Low energy fluence CO2 laser treatment of lymphangiectasia.

Abstract
Lymphangiectasia is an uncommonly reported complication of lymphatic insufficiency. These dilatations of lymphatic vessels may be symptomatic, necessitating treatment. While CO2 laser ablation has been used with success in the treatment of lymphangiectasia, it is infrequently reported and previous laser protocols have relied on high irradiances. The successful use of low fluence CO2 laser in the treatment of multiple lymphangiectases on the lower limb of a middle-aged Caucasian woman with unilateral chronic lymphoedema is described.
