    Author: Bornet G, Claudet I, Fries F, Sévely A, Aubé M, Cognard C, Manelfe C.
    Journal: Neuroradiology; 2000 Sep; 42(9):703-6. PubMed ID: 11071448.
    Abstract:
    We present a neonate with a cervicofacial haemangioma complicated by the Kasabach-Merritt syndrome, respiratory distress due to airway compression and high-output heart failure. This haemangioma and intravascular disseminated coagulation, treated initially by aspirin, ticlopidine and corticosteroids, required more invasive treatment with superselective embolisation and interferon alpha-2a. The clinical outcome was good.
