Cervicofacial angioma and the Kasabach-Merritt syndrome
2000
We present a neonate with a cervicofacial haemangioma complicated by the Kasabach-Merritt syndrome, respiratory distress due to airway compression and high-output heart failure. This haemangioma and intravascular disseminated coagulation, treated initially by aspirin, ticlopidine and corticosteroids, required more invasive treatment with superselective embolisation and interferon alpha-2a. The clinical outcome was good.
