| Diagnosis: | HEMANGIOMA | Category: | lumps & bumps (plaques, nodules, tumors) / neonatal dermatology | ||
| Body Site: | face / lip | Age: | 3 weeks | ||
| Contributor: | Sherry Arena, BS | ||||
| Description: | red plaques | ||||
| Comments: | She developed thickening of her hemangiomas resulting in partial obstruction of the left eye. Oral steroids were started at a dose of 3 mg/kg/day given in 2 divided doses with a good response. However, as the steroid dose was tapered she developed stridor, and the dose was increased again with resolution of airway symptoms. Laryngoscopy revealed an extensive circumferential hemangioma involving the larynx, posterior pharynx, and upper trachea. | ||||
