[Therapeutic effectiveness of local administration of corticosteroids in the treatment of orbital capillary hemangioma].
The author evaluated three years experience with the treatment of capillary haemangioma of the orbit and eyelids in nine infants. They used several therapeutic methods. However, they injected in all patients depot corticosteroids-Triamcinolone-into the tumour. Indication for treatment was a marked cosmetic defect, imminent amblyopia and progression of the haemangioma. The results of steroid treatment are very good from the cosmetic and functional aspect. Indications for treatment, results and differential diagnostic problems are discussed.
