Child's arm hemangioma

After the baby is born, many parents will find some birthmarks on the baby's body. However, when the baby grows to 3 months old, the parents will find that the place where they thought it was a birthmark has changed. The mark that they thought was a birthmark is actually a hemangioma. This will make many parents feel particularly nervous. Although many hemangiomas on babies will disappear as the baby grows, you should still pay attention when you suffer from a hemangioma.

Urea simple local urea injection Urea is a normal metabolic product of the human body and has no obvious toxicity or side effects to the human body. Researchers have found that high concentrations of urea can cause atrophy of diseased vascular endothelial cells and fibrosis and degeneration of local diseased tissues. Therefore, simple local urea injection is the most appropriate treatment for infantile hemangiomas, that is, true hemangiomas (strawberry hemangiomas and true cavernous hemangiomas).

Arterial ligation and catheterization + urea Selective arterial ligation and catheterization, urea interventional treatment For large-area hemangiomas, especially hemangiomas located in the face and other locations, selective external carotid artery ligation and catheterization urea interventional treatment can be used. The maxillofacial area is a high-risk site for hemangiomas, accounting for about 60% of hemangiomas. This treatment method is effective for severe maxillofacial hemangiomas. It can not only achieve the purpose of cure, but also achieve a more ideal cosmetic effect. Surgical resection with a scalpel combined with urea and local urea injection. Deformed hemangiomas are difficult to treat and difficult to regress. In principle, complete surgical resection of the lesions is required to achieve the goal of cure. However, conventional simple surgical resection causes excessive bleeding and a high recurrence rate. Local urea injection can be used to harden the diseased tissue before surgical resection, which can reduce bleeding, reduce risks, and lower recurrence rates.

Laser semiconductor laser therapy? Laser is an important means of treating hemangioma. The new semiconductor laser has the characteristics of CO2 and Nd:YAG lasers, has selective photothermal coagulation effect on blood vessels, and the operation is more precise and does not cause bleeding. It is suitable for hemangiomas in special areas such as proliferative port-wine stains, spider nevi, and angiogranuloma. Photosensitizer combined with laser photodynamic therapy Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a new treatment technology that can selectively remove port-wine stains without damaging normal tissues by injecting a drug (photosensitizer) into the body and then irradiating the lesion with a laser to cause a photochemical reaction to destroy the lesion tissue. Photodynamic therapy is mainly used to treat port-wine stains and is a scar-free treatment. Radiofrequency ablation is a treatment method for large-area severe hemangiomas and vascular malformations. The disease is serious, develops rapidly, and has many complications. In many cases, the location of the hemangioma is quite special, and it is difficult to completely remove it during surgery. Inevitably, cosmetic defects will be left behind due to surgical incision scars and local tissue destruction and deformation, making it difficult to achieve the goal of cure. The new minimally invasive treatment technology of radiofrequency ablation that has emerged in recent years has saved patients the pain of surgery and can achieve good therapeutic effects by timely treatment of severe hemangiomas in special parts of the body. The patients suffer less trauma and recover faster after surgery, making it a green treatment technology.
