[Hemangioma of the nasal fossa in infants].
Hemangiomas in infancy are the most frequent benign tumors of the head and neck in children. However, intranasal location is very rare. By obstructing the entire nasal fossa, it produces a problem of breathing difficulty in the neonatal period, which leads to therapeutic measures being taken in the first months of life. We present a patient who was born with intranasal hemangioma, we study the various therapeutic options and we expose the final resolution of the case, which was vaporization using CO(2) laser.
