Early local steroid therapy of infantile eyelid hemangiomas (local steroid therapy of lid hemangiomas).

Two cases of upper eyelid capillary hemangiomas were successfully treated by local injection of steroids. Both cases required two injections, performed between 11 and 20 weeks of age. No untoward side effects occurred. This treatment would appear to be valuable in preventing the development of ophthalmic sequelae commonly associated with benign observation.
