  • Title: SubTenon's infusion of steroids for treatment of orbital hemangiomas.
    Author: Coats DK, O'Neil JW, D'Elia VJ, Brady-McCreery KM, Paysse EA.
    Journal: Ophthalmology; 2003 Jun; 110(6):1255-9. PubMed ID: 12799256.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To introduce an alternate technique for the treatment of infantile orbital hemangiomas. DESIGN: Non-comparative case series. PARTICIPANTS: Seven consecutive children with orbital hemangiomas. INTERVENTION: Posterior subTenon's steroid infusion using a blunt-tip cannula. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Clinical stabilization, improvement, or resolution. RESULTS: Significant and sustained involution of the hemangiomas occurred in all cases. No local or systemic complications occurred. CONCLUSIONS: The results of subTenon's steroid infusion for the treatment of orbital hemangiomas in children are encouraging and may be associated with fewer intraoperative risks compared with direct intralesional injection.
