  • Title: [Treatment of orbital hemangioma].
    Author: Toczołowski J, Wróblewska E.
    Journal: Klin Oczna; 1993 May; 95(5):187-9. PubMed ID: 8246403.
    Abstract:
    Hemangiomas occur in 1%-2.6% of newborn infants and, after 7 years, they disappear in 70% of them. Indications for the treatment are the deterioration of visual function and great cosmetic defects. Both surgical and radiological therapy are likely to cause numerous complications. The reports concerning the beneficial effect of corticosteroids, injected directly into hemangiomas, have recently been presented. In two of our patients, aged 32 and 43, the injection of steroids resulted in the disappearance of hemangioma during 2-4 weeks.
