Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A full-term female infant with severe unilateral microphthalmos and ipsilateral orbital hemangioma in the setting of PHACE syndrome was successfully managed with oral propranolol therapy and subsequent orbital conformer placement. After 3 months of systemic propranolol therapy, the orbital hemangioma had shown significant regression without systemic or local complications. The authors believe this to be the first reported use of systemic propranolol therapy in the management of a hemangioma within a microphthalmic orbit of a patient with PHACE syndrome. |
