title: [Magnesium seeding in therapy of pediatric hemangioma of the temporal region, lower eyelid and orbit].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Magnesium seeding of haemangiomas is a form of treatment already successfully used in 1900.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report about a male infant with a haemangioma of the left temporal region, underlid and orbit. Maximum depth at the time of indication for magnesium seeding was 28 mm with an intraorbital extension of 7 mm. COURSE OF THERAPY: Magnesium seeding of the haemangioma first lead to a standstill and within 8 weeks to a significant remission. After this period, maximum depth was 6.7 mm without any intraorbital extension.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Magnesium seeding is a hopeful and low-risked alternative in the therapy of infantile haemangiomas.
