[Hemangioma of the nasal fossa in infants]

Abstract

Hemangiomas in infancy are the most frequent benign tumors of the head and neck in children. However, intranasal location is very rare. By obstructing the entire nasal fossa, it produces a problem of breathing difficulty in the neonatal period, which leads to therapeutic measures being taken in the first months of life. We present a patient who was born with intranasal hemangioma, we study the various therapeutic options and we expose the final resolution of the case, which was vaporization using CO(2) laser.
