Even though hemangioma has a name that sounds very gentle-angel’s kiss, but no one wants this “kiss” to fall on their baby’s body.
Especially when this “kiss” appears on the baby’s face, parents always hope to eliminate it as soon as possible.
For example, the following baby girl had a small red spot on her forehead shortly after birth, and soon the red spot became larger rapidly. Parents learned through online consultation that it was a hemangioma, so they began to apply timolol eye drops (a beta blocker with propranolol), but after more than a month of treatment, the tumor continued to expand, and her family immediately took her to Beijing to see a doctor.
Color Doppler ultrasound examination found that there were high and low mixed echo masses and abundant blood flow signals in the subcutaneous lesions of the children, which met the diagnostic criteria of superficial hemangioma (also known as strawberry capillary hemangioma in the past).
Considering that the effect of beta blockers for children is not obvious, and parents’desire to cure as soon as possible is very urgent, the non-invasive treatment of sclerotherapy embolization is adopted.
Because the child was treated in time, the tumor disappeared completely after a period of treatment, and no recurrence was found in two consecutive years.
