Abstract
Most infantile hemangiomas have a spontaneous and uneventful involution and, hence, may be treated expectantly. Others, however, will present some complication along their evolution that may require prompt therapeutic interventions. Ulceration is the most common complication, and amblyopia is frequently associated with periocular tumors. Airways hemangiomas may be life-threatening, and disfigurement can heavily impact the patient’s quality of life.
