Abstract:
Objective To study the relationship between low birth weight and hemangioma, as well as the efficacy of dye laser alone and in combination with intralesional drugs in the treatment of cutaneous vascular anomalies. Methods A questionaire was designed and delivered to assess the health status of 209 children with hemangioma and 100 normal control children, as well as the situation of their mothers during pregnancy.Pulsed dye laser was utilized to treat capillary hemangioma, venular malformation, spider angioma and pyogenic granuloma, and pulsed dye laser plus intralesional drugs to manage mixed hemangioma, followed by evaluation of therapeutic efficacy. Results Low birth weight babies amounted to 33.49% in 209 children with hemangioma and 9% in normal controls (u = 4.621, P ＜ 0.05). The effective rate of pulsed dye laser was 83.69% for capillary hemangioma, 92.59% for venular malformation, 100% for spider angioma and 50% for pyogenic granuloma. An effective rate of 95.59% was observed for pulsed dye laser plus intralesional drugs in the treatment of mixed hemangioma. Conclusions Low birth weight has a close relationship with the development of hemangioma. A favorable efficacy has been observed for pulsed dye laser in the treatment of capillary hemangioma, venular malformation and spider angioma, and for pulsed dye laser plus intralesional drugs in the treatment of mixed hemangioma.
