Disseminated neonatal hemangiomatosis: successful hepatic resection with subsequent development of hydrocephalus.
This is a report of an infant with cutaneous hemangiomas who underwent successful resection of an extensive hemangioma of the liver as well as multiple intestinal hemangiomas. Later, he developed hydrocephalus due to a cerebellar cystic hemangioblastoma. This case documents the usefulness of cranial computed tomography (CCT) in determining the extent of involvement in disseminated neonatal hemangiomatosis.
