[Neonatal hemangiomatosis with prolonged icterus].
A six week old girl with multiple cutaneous haemangiomas and cholestatic jaundice is described. An exploratory laparotomy revealed neither extra- nor intrahepatic biliary atresia. The diagnosis of a diffuse neonatal haemangiomatosis was made. Prednison therapy induced an almost complete normalization of the liverfunction disturbances. Surgical therapy is not the recommended approach for neonatal haemangiomatosis with cholestatic jaundice.
