“…children with untreated periocular IHs, usually as a result of visual deprivation or refractive errors. [294][295][296] Deprivation amblyopia occurs when a bulky IH, usually in the upper eyelid, completely obstructs visual input into the involved eye. The lack of input causes a maldevelopment of visual pathways and may result in irreversible loss of vision.…”

“…The astigmatism can be reversed with early intervention, preferably before 9 months of age. Beyond 13 months of age, astigmatism typically persists despite involution of the IH; 295,296 however, some cases of improvement during involution have also been reported. [299][300][301] Anisometropia is a difference in refractive error between the eyes that results in a relatively clear retinal image in the eye with the smaller refractive error and a relatively blurred retinal image in the eye with the larger refractive error.…”

Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are the most common tumors of childhood. Unlike other tumors, they have the unique ability to involute after proliferation, often leading primary care providers to assume they will resolve without intervention or consequence. Unfortunately, a subset of IHs rapidly develop complications, resulting in pain, functional impairment, or permanent disfigurement. As a result, the primary clinician has the task of determining which lesions require early consultation with a specialist. Although several recent reviews have been published, this clinical report is the first based on input from individuals representing the many specialties involved in the treatment of IH. Its purpose is to update the pediatric community regarding recent discoveries in IH pathogenesis, treatment, and clinical associations and to provide a basis for clinical decision-making in the management of IH.

“…3,4 Overall, 10% of these patients require intensive treatment during the proliferative period because of a life-threatening location, local anatomical and functional complications, or facial-disfiguring risks. [5][6][7] The exact aetiology of capillary haemangiomas is unclear, with involvement of angiogenic and vasculogenic factors. 8 In the angiogenesis pathway, new blood vessels arise from remodelling of pre-existing vasculature.…”

“…The ipsilateral eye may be affected if palpebral hemangioma occludes the eye for a long time. 4 Cutaneous features are well known from the clinical 3,5 and histologic 6 points of view. The magnitude of this syndrome, which may involve any region of the body, has seldom received comment.…”
