Pediatric Periocular Hemangioma
Posted: Mon Sep 01, 2008 9:40 am
Does anyone have much experience/knowledge regarding the treatment of
pediatric periocular hemangiomas? This is a strawberry birthmark
hemangioma covering the left upper eyelid and part of the bridge of a
2 1/2 month old boy. Many remedies have been tried with little to no
effect. Word is it's supposed to keep growing at this point, so one
question is what kind of result can we expect to see with the
remedies? Can Homeopathy fix this or does it have to be waited out?
The Opthamologist says there is enough swelling to cause pressure to
the eye. The boy now has glasses to help him see out of that eye and
the parents are also using a patch over the non-affected eye (R eye)
for a few hours a day to force the use of the left eye.
Please, any knowledge/experience/suggestions you may have would be
greatly appreciated.
