A very rare localization of infantile hemangioma (IH) is mesentery. It may manifest with intra-luminal or intra-peritoneal bleeding. Here there is the case of a 45-day-old infant, presenting with anemia and poor growth, subsequently referred to an uncommon hemangioma of the mesentery. As well as for most of IH, conservative treatment with only propranolol resulted in the disappearance of the lesion. Here we analyze ultrasound and magnetic resonance (MR) features of this uncommon lesion, trying to underline main characteristics at imaging in order to monitor the response to therapy.
婴儿血管瘤(IH)非常罕见的一种定位是肠系膜。它可能表现为腔内或腹腔内出血。本文介绍了一名45天大的婴儿病例,该婴儿表现为贫血和生长发育迟缓,随后被诊断为罕见的肠系膜血管瘤。与大多数婴儿血管瘤一样,仅使用普萘洛尔进行保守治疗后病变消失。我们在此分析这种罕见病变的超声和磁共振(MR)特征,试图强调影像学上的主要特征,以便监测治疗反应。
