[Interventions for nasal hemangiomas in children].
OBJECTIVE
To explore an ideal therapy for nasal hemangiomas in children.


METHODS
From June 1998 to April 2001, 110 patients with nasal hemangiomas in children were treated. Of them, 76 cases received Pingyangmycin intralesional injection (group I); 11 cases received steroids injection (group II); 7 cases received intralesional injection of absolute ethanol (group III); 6 cases received cryotherapy (group IV) and 10 cases with tumor resection (group V).


RESULTS
In group I, II, III, IV and V, the cure rates were 88.16%, 27.27%, 100%, 50% and 80%, respectively. The satisfactory rates of the nasal contour after treatment were 86.84%, 18.18%, 0,0% and 10.00%, respectively.


CONCLUSIONS
The nose is a special portion of the body with fine configuration. Once destroyed, it is difficult to restore. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt an effective therapy in the earlier stage. It is not advocated to wait for spontaneous involution. Intralesional injection of Pingyangmycin is an effective method in the treatment of nasal hemangiomas in children; Its result is exact, without significant side effects. The nasal appearance remains good after treatment.
