Abstract: In recent years, surgical treatment of limbs and trunk lymphedema has gradually attracted attention, but little is paid to head and neck lymphedema. In this paper, we reported a case of lymphedema of head and neck treated by super microsurgery with lymphatic-venous anastomosis(LVA), and discuss its pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment based on relevant literature.

Key words: Head and neck lymphedema, LVA, Supermicrosurgery
