Facial bone changes with vascular tumors in children.
Deformities of the adjacent facial bones are common with large vascular tumors. Most hemangiomas will resolve spontaneously, but the incidence of resolution appears to be quite low when the adjacent bones are affected. In these, we have used high dosage corticosteroid therapy in the early cases, particularly those involving the orbit. Surgical excision has been used in most of the other cases, with reasonable improvement.
