  • Title: [Kasabach-Merritt syndrome in infants. 2 cases].
    Author: Guillet G, Duboscq MF, Boisseau M, Maleville J.
    Journal: Ann Dermatol Venereol; 1985; 112(5):425-32. PubMed ID: 4041154.
    Abstract:
    Two infants presenting with Kasabach-Merritt syndrome point out several points: the hemangioma may look innocuous with small proportions. The coagulopathy may be represented by a simple thrombopenia or an intravascular coagulation (PDF, ethanol test) of bad prognosis. A review of 150 observations of Kasabach-Merritt syndrome suggests a simple therapeutic approach: corticotherapy (2 to 4 mg/kg) for 2 to 4 weeks or, if failure, antiaggregant drugs. Radiotherapy is proposed in cases of emergency. Heparin and antifibrinolytic treatments are restricted to cases with severe coagulopathy.
