BACKGROUND Vascular malformations and hemangiomas, which are endothelial lesions of childhood, may result in considerable morbidity because they can cause discomfort and functional impairment and have a negative affect on the patient's appearance. Although vascular malformations may initially appear very similar to hemangiomas, they have distinct clinical courses. Infantile hemangiomas progress...

28 Purpose: This study was carried out to analyze volumes and localization of vertebral 29 hemangiomas in T12-L5 levels on MRI in patients with low back pain. 30 Methods: Thoraco-lumbar MR images were examined retrospectively in a total of 150 31 patients. Hemangiomas observed in vertebral bodies on sagittal vertebral sections were 32 assessed and data were evaluated to get ratios regarding sex...

OBJECTIVE To map sites of occurrence of facial infantile hemangiomas and correlate these with pattern of tumor growth, clinical complications, and proximity to structural and developmental landmarks. DESIGN A retrospective medical record review of 205 patients diagnosed with facial infantile hemangioma. SETTING Arkansas Children's Hospital, Little Rock, a 250-bed teaching hospital affiliate...

Diffuse spleen hemangiomatosis is a rare benign vascular condition that often seen in systemic angiomatosis (associations with Turner, Beckwith-Wiedemanand Klippel Trenaunay syndromes) and very rarely unique splenic localization [1.4]. They present latent clinical picture of incidental discovery sometimes may be accompanied by severe hypersplenism other complications, hemangiomas exhibit imagin...

INTRODUCTION Infantile subglottic hemangiomas are rare causes of airway obstruction. They begin to proliferate at 1-2 months of age and can cause biphasic stridor with or without respiratory distress. Diagnosis requires direct visualization by direct laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy. Various therapeutic options have been utilized for treatment, including tracheotomy, open surgical excision, laser ...

Infantile hemangiomas, occurring at birth or during the first weeks of life, are benign vascular tumors with an initial proliferative phase and a later involutional phase. The massive proliferation on the key regions and unpredicted regression may threaten life. Thus, early management of infantile hemangiomas is necessary for affected infancies. Recent studies showed that propranolol for infant...

Hyperdynamic hemangiomas (HH) are atypical hepatic hemangiomas with an incidence of approximately 16% of all hemangiomas in the liver. We report a case of HH in a 47-year-old woman. Multiphase helical CT scan, MRI appearances and differential diagnoses are discussed.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Recent reports have described the successful use of propranolol to treat severe hemangiomas of infancy. The few case series that have been reported, however, have included only a small number of patients. The aim of this study was to describe the results of oral propranolol treatment for severe hemangiomas of infancy in terms of treatment outcome and the occurrence of ...
