title: Surgical treatment of nasal hemangiomas.
abstract: The treatment of nasal hemangiomas continues to be controversial. The authors' experience with early surgical treatment of nasal hemangiomas is presented. This retrospective study includes 11 patients. Surgical intervention consisted of excision of the nasal hemangioma and reconstruction by local tissue transfer or rearrangement. Age at surgery ranged from 10 months to 6.5 years (mean age, 2.2 years). All patients have acceptable nasal contour and have demonstrated excellent nasal growth. The authors' experience demonstrates that early surgical intervention is an acceptable alternative for the management of nasal hemangiomas.
