Combined treatment of a proliferative peri-orbital haemangioma with a tuneable dye laser and intra-lesional steroids to prevent deprivation amblyopia.

We present a case successfully treated with a combination of pulsed dye laser and intralesional steroid injection. The current management of haemangiomas is reviewed.
