Retrospective Study of Nasal Infantile Hemangiomas: Characteristics, Complications, and Outcomes

ConclusionNasal IHs had higher rates of complications and treatment than previous reports of IHs at all body sites. Lesions of segmental and indeterminate type and mixed depth should be identified as high risk and treated accordingly. Parents may be counseled that most nasal IHs involute by kindergarten but leave residua and that early referral for treatment may be important for the best outcome.
