  • Title: Diffuse neonatal haemangiomatosis: a rare cause of haemorrhagic shock and refractory coagulopathy in the newborn.
    Author: Rohana J, Boo NY, Hayati AR, Baizura J.
    Journal: Med J Malaysia; 2002 Sep; 57(3):364-7. PubMed ID: 12440278.
    Abstract:
    A term newborn infant developed hypovolaemic shock shortly after birth. She was pale with gross hepatomegaly. She required multiple boluses of intravenous fluids, blood products as well as inotropic support. Blood investigations showed persistent thrombocytopenia, anaemia and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy (DIC). She also developed heart failure. She finally succumbed on the eleventh day of life. Autopsy revealed haemangiomatosis involving the liver, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys and adrenals.
