  • Title: Steroid treatment of an orbital or periocular hemangioma.
    Author: Steahly LP, Almquist HT.
    Journal: J Pediatr Ophthalmol; 1977; 14(1):35-7. PubMed ID: 845752.
    Abstract:
    Orbital hemangiomas may cause deviation of the visual axis with amblyopia and loss of fusion in the infant as a result. Prior methods of treatment include radiation, injection of sclerosing solutions, surgery and ligation of feeding vessels and systemic steroids. A case is presented of an infant treated at five months of age with systemic prednisone over a six-week period with rapid resolution of an orbital hemangioma.
