Abstract
Results obtained in argon laser treatment of [human] port-wine stains with and without preliminary chilling, noting that the success rate is considerably greater with the former procedure (68.6%) than with the latter (37.5%) (X2 = 4.37, P < 0.05). The effect of chilling was studied with special reference to the vitropressure test. Different hypotheses are presented to account for the difference and possible complications of the treatment are considered.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
