    Author: Chang CW, Rao NA, Stout JT.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1998 Jun; 125(6):868-70. PubMed ID: 9645726.
    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To report the ocular presentation and histopathology of a patient with diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis. METHODS: Case report. A 3.7-kg female was born at term. Multiple hemangiomas were present, and the patient died 39 days after birth. RESULTS: Widespread cutaneous and visceral hemangiomas were present. Ophthalmic examination disclosed bilateral eyelid and conjunctival hemangiomas. The right eye had multiple iris hemangiomas, hyphema, vitreous hemorrhage, and discrete subretinal lesions. Histopathology of the right eye demonstrated hemangiomas involving the iris, ciliary body, and ciliary processes. CONCLUSION: Diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis was associated with ophthalmic findings of multiple hemangiomas involving eyelid, conjunctiva, iris, ciliary body, and ciliary processes.
