Haemangioma, thrombocytopenia and coagulopathy- kasabach merritt syndrome: an appraisal for anaesthesiologists.

Haemangioma is a common type of vascular tumour in paediatric age group [1]. Most of them are benign and non-life threatening [1]. Kasabach Merritt syndrome (KMS) is a combination of giant haemangioma, thrombocytopenia and consumptive coagulopathy [1-5]. It presents with diverse clinical presentation and may be a part of other recognized syndrome [1,2]. KMS is a well-recognized but rare clinical entity that may be life threatening [14] and bears considerable anesthetic implications [3-5].
