title: [Treatment of eyelid hemangioma in children with intralesional steroid injection].
abstract: Infantile hemangiomas affect about 5% (3-10%) of the population, showing a predilection for the face. Infants with hemangiomas of the eyelid are at risk amblyopia and strabismus. This is also a cosmetic defect. Several methods of treating these tumors have been associated with many complications. The use of intralesional steroid injections seems to be a simple, safe and effective method of treating hemangiomas of the eyelid in children.
