Orbital venography of Kasabach-Merritt syndrome.
A case of hemangioma involving the orbit and jaw associated with thrombocytopenia in a 1-month-old boy was reported. To our knowledge, this combination of two hemangiomas has never been reported. By utilizing venography we could diagnose the mass as being a hemangioma. Radiotherapy was successful giving 500 rad to the mass on the right jaw. At follow-up after 2 months, the platelet count had returned to the normal range and the hemangiomas were noted to have regressed dramatically.
