Abstract

Vascular disorders are considered a common finding among infants and in general, hemangioma is the most common. Diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis is a rare and frequently fatal variant of them. We describe a case of a 2-months-old infant with multiple cutaneous hemangiomatosis and ocular involvement. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case. We focus on the different treatment modalities and current diagnostic approaches.
