[Therapeutic effect of local injection of corticosteroid hormone in the treatment of hemangioma in childhood and infancy].
Hemangioma is a common disease in infancy and childhood. From January, 1987 to January, 1992, the author had treated 11 out-patients of infants and children suffering from hemangioma with local injections of corticosteroid hormone and obtained an effective rate of 87.8% and cure rate of 51.2%. During the clinical observation, the author found that after injection, the hemangioma disappeared quickly without recurrence, infection, drug-induced side effects and other complications. It is considered that a mixture of corticosteroids is the first choice for local injection for the treatment of hemangioma in infancy and childhood. It is safe, effective and simple.
