Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Infantile hemangiomas are common benign vascular tumors of infancy. Although the majority of uncomplicated hemangiomas involute spontaneously, rapid-growth lesions with complications need early active intervention. On the other hand, severe and complicated lesions can be difficult to treat. Recently, we successfully treated two cases of giant severe infantile facial hemangiomas using local application of bleomycin and pulsed dye laser along with systemic application of dexamethasone. Our results suggest that the multiple modalities of bleomycin, laser, and corticosteroid are a safe and effective approach for early therapeutic intervention of severe facial hemangiomas. |
