The growth of hemangiomas of the orbital region varies greatly; it is unpredictable. Most lesions never reach sufficient size to impair vision; a few, however, may grow sufficiently to cause disastrous complications. Nine children with complete or partial occlusion of the vision by hemangioma of one eye are reported. (Functional vision was preserved only in those patients who had early subtotal excision of the eyelid hemangioma.) Two children with complete occlusion developed amblyopia in the involved eye. One had optic nerve atrophy. One of the four children with partial occlusion of vision had a permanent decrease in visual acuity. Of the remaining three children with normal vision, two had been operatively treated early, and one had unusually rapid involution of the hemangioma. We recommend that when a child has complete or partial visual occlusion due to hemangioma, subtotal or total excision of the hemangioma should be carried out within 1 week of the onset of visual occlusion to prevent amblyopia.
