Abstract: Objective: To report the clinical and MRI-based volumetric mid-term outcome after image guided percutaneous sclerotherapy (PS) of venous malformations (VM) of the head and neck. Methods: A retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database was performed, including patients with VM of the head and neck who were treated with PS. Only patients with available pre- and post-interventional MRI were included into this study. Clinical outcome, which was subjectively assessed by the patients, their parents (for paediatric patients) and/or the physicians, was categorized as worse, unchanged, minor or major improvement. Radiological outcome, determined by MRI-based volumetric measurements, was categorized as worse (>10% increase), unchanged (≤10% increase to
