| A capillary hemangioma
usually appears at or soon after birth. This reddish purple tumor, sometimes called a strawberry nevus, tends to involute spontaneously within months or years, but it can become large enough to interfere within vision. Amblyopia can occur secondary to ptosis, strabismus, or astigmatism and anisometropia. A capillary hemangioma deep within the eyelid tissue or the orbit presents as a soft, bluish mass that often becomes more prominent when the child cries. Treatment is considered when normal visual development is affected or when marked deformity is observed. A current treatment preference is intralesional steroid injection.Treatment varies according to the location of the abnormality and the extent of ocular involvement. |
