Complications

 Bleeding: Usually responds to pressure

 Ulceration: It is the most common

complication ( <5%)

 Infection: Rare but more common in intra-

oral or perianal hemangioma

 Kasabach-Merritt syndrome: Profound

thrombocytopenia with kaposiform

hemangioendothelioma

 High output heart failure: it is associated with

large liver/visceral hemangioma, usually

seen with hemangiomatosis

 Multiple neonatal hemangiomatosis:

Mortality in infants is 54%

 Skeletal distortion: Pressure of hemangioma

causing bony deformation.
