The objective of this case are: 1. to present the pathophysiology and clinical manifestations of Kasabach- Merrit syndrome; 2. to present the anesthetic implications of a patient with a huge facio-cervico-mediastinal cystic hygroma with hemangioma on the floor of the mouth; 3. and to present alternative technique for positioning the head of this patient for direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation.

Hemangioma is the most frequent liver tumor in infancy. The treatment of hepatic hemangioma includes medical, surgical, and non-operative interventional therapy. There are no standard medical regimens currently considered consistently effective. MDMP (megadose methylprednisolone) and alpha-interferon can be used for medical treatment. Interventional occlusion of feeding arteries in symptomatic hepatic hemangioma is considered a safe and effective alternative to early open surgery. Untreated symptomatic patients with heart failure have a high mortality rate. For this reason symptomatic patients with heart failure may require non-operative treatment such as interventional embolization, because hepatic resection is burdened with high risk. We report our experiences of two patients with neonatal liver hemangiomas whose clinical courses were complicated by cardiac failure to whom medical treatment and/or interventional vascular occlusion were done. Both patients had Kasabach-Merritt syndrome complicated with cardiac failure. Initially, the masses were considered unresectable. In one case, we performed interventional therapy in addition to medical treatment. In another case, we tried medical therapy with megadose steroid and alpha-interferon. Unfortunately, in spite of the treatments, the patients died of severe hemorrhage.

Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon does not occur with common hemangioma, rather it is associated with the more aggressive Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma and rarely with other vascular neoplasm. We report the case of an adult who was diagnosed as Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma complicated by Kasabach-Memtt phenomenon. This is the first report in Korea of an adult with Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon who has osteolytic changes of femur, pelvic bone, and lumbar spine.
