[Palpebral capillary hemangioma and amblyopia. Apropos of 2 cases].
Revue de Stomatologie et de Chirurgie Maxillo-faciale 1998 November
Periorbital capillary hemangiomas of childhood can produce visual axis occlusion and anisometropia, resulting in amblyopia. We report our experience performing surgical resection of periorbital capillary hemangiomas. Partial resection of hemangiomas was performed in two infants under five months of age, and permitted clearing of the visual axis. This immediate effect is necessary to prevent amblyopia. Surgical resection should be considered a treatment option for managing periorbital capillary hemangiomas which threaten vision.
