title: Sclerodermiform linear atrophy after the use of intralesional steroids for periorbital hemangiomas: a review of complications.
abstract: A 1-year-old girl developed a linear atrophy 3 months after a second injection of intralesional steroids for a periorbital hemangioma, followed by spontaneous resolution of the atrophy within 13 months. Reported and potential complications of intralesional steroids for periorbital hemangiomas are reviewed.
