title: Hemangioma causing deformational plagiocephaly.
abstract: Hemangioma is the most common tumor of infancy, occurring mostly in the head and neck region. Intervention during the proliferating phase is indicated if the lesion poses a threat to life or function. Posterior head and neck hemangioma causing deformational plagiocephaly is a further indication for intervention.
