Overview
If left untreated, 20% of patients with hemangioma may progress to develop ulceration, hemorrhage, infection, and high output cardiac failure. Common complications of hemangioma include ischemia, necrosis, ulceration, and bleeding. Prognosis is generally good.
Natural history
Hemangiomas are vascular tumors that are rarely apparent at birth, grow rapidly during the first six months of life, involute with time and do not necessarily infiltrate but can sometimes be destructive.[1][2]
Complications
Rapid growth of hemangiomas can lead to exhaustion of blood supply with resulting:[1]
Ophthalmic complications
Common complications of infantile hemangioma include:[3]
- Amblyopia
- Strabismus
- Proptosis
- Exposure keratopathy
- Compressive optic neuropathy
Prognosis
Hemangioma generally has a good prognosis and is cosidered as a benign condition.
