| Popis: | An infant girl developed a hemangioma affecting her left iris concurrently with diffuse cutaneous infantile hemangiomas from day 2 of life. Intraocular hemangiomas are rarely reported and are usually associated with neonatal hemangiomatosis, the presence of which indicates a high risk for visceral lesions. This striking case highlights the unusual clinical presentation of iris hemangioma and demonstrates the importance of conducting visceral screening when faced with these lesions. Oral propranolol was commenced and resulted in rapid improvement of all lesions without complication. |
