[Management of hemangioma in the infant].
Foster child hemangioma management depends on its usual spontaneously regressive evolution as it is a transient and benign vascular tumor like lesion. Most of the time clinical follow up is the only management. Investigations are indicated if treatment is needed (for decision and follow up) concerning only hemangiomas with a bad functional or esthetic prognosis (peri-orificial lesions and large locations of the face) or complicated hemangiomas with life-risk as sub glottic hemangioma, Kasabach and Merritt Syndrome, diffuse and liver hemangiomatosis possibly associated to cardiac failure. Basic treatment remains systemic corticosteroids with indications for early surgery or intralesional corticosteroids.
