Successful embolization and long-term follow-up of a rare neonatal diaphragmatic hemangioma

Abstract: Background:Congenital hemangioma of the diaphragm is an extremely rare disease in childhood.Methods:We report a newborn presenting with progressive respiratory distress and massive right hydrothorax due to congenital diaphragmatic hemangioma, requiring sustained ventilation support and chest drainage. The angiography revealed that the giant diaphragmatic hemangioma was supplied by the right internal thoracic, inferior diaphragmatic, and intercostal arteries. The selective embolization of the main feeding vesse… Show more

“…6 A search of the PubMed V R database identified 10 case reports on diaphragmatic haemangiomas published in English. 3,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] A definitive preoperative diagnosis of diaphragmatic haemangioma is difficult to obtain on imaging due to its physiological characteristics. A similar situation exists with other haemangiomas.…”
