Infant vascular nevus

Vascular nevus is a common phenomenon in infants. It is also a benign tumor that generally does not worsen. However, vascular nevi can have a significant impact on infants and may even accompany the child throughout his or her life. However, vascular nevus can be eliminated if the treatment method is appropriate. Surgical treatment, Jingguang treatment, cryotherapy and hormone treatment are all better methods for treating vascular nevus.

1. Infant Vascular Nevus

Vascular nevus is the most common benign tumor in infants and is formed by the proliferation of vascular network during the embryonic period. There are two types of vascular nevi: hemangiomas and vascular malformations. Vascular malformations are vascular malformations that may persist throughout life. Hemangioma is caused by the proliferation of vascular endothelial cells. Strawberry hemangioma and cavernous hemangioma are more common clinically. Hemangiomas should be treated actively, and laser therapy, hormone therapy, radiotherapy, cryosurgery and surgery can be selected as appropriate.

3. Inspection

General laboratory test results showed no specific findings. X-rays are valuable in understanding the size and extent of deep tumors or whether the tumors erode the cervical spine or laryngeal cartilage. Deeper hemangiomas should be confirmed by postural movement tests and puncture. Arteriography and aneurysm cavity angiography can also be used to assist in diagnosis.

IV. Treatment Principles

The treatment of hemangioma should generally establish the concept of active treatment. On the basis of correct diagnosis, the following methods can be selected according to the specific situation:

1. Laser treatment. In recent years, the use of laser to treat superficial vascular diseases has become more popular.

2. Hormone therapy, local hormone injection therapy and oral corticosteroid therapy.

3. Radiation therapy is generally not recommended for children.

4. Freeze.

5. Surgical treatment.

6. Follow-up observation is the first choice for hemangiomas that are not growing very obviously or have entered the stable or regressing stage.
