title: Diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis: imaging findings in two patients.
abstract: Diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis is a rare condition in which cutaneous and visceral hemangiomas may coexist. Intra-abdominal involvement occurs commonly and, if untreated, may result in high-output cardiac failure and other life-threatening conditions. We report two neonates with this disease and discuss the radiographic findings and the role of vascular embolization in the treatment of hepatic hemangiomatosis.
