Diffuse neonatal haemangiomatosis: successful management with high dose corticosteroids.
We report two cases of diffuse neonatal haemangiomatosis. The multiple cutaneous lesions were associated with massive hepatic involvement and congestive heart failure in one, while in the other laryngeal haemangiomas caused stridor and inspiratory distress. A significant regression in vascular lesions was achieved with high dose corticosteroid therapy.
