Capillary haemangioma of the nasal cavity in a 7-week-old baby--successful treatment using intralesional steroid injection.
A case of a seven-week-old baby who presented with a capillary haemangioma of the nasal cavity is presented. We describe a novel treatment modality and provide a literature review of head and neck capillary haemangioma in the paediatric population. Capillary haemangioma of the nasal cavity and our treatment option has not previously been described in the literature at such an early age.
