Abstract
Rapidly proliferating haemangiomas of the face may obscure vision with the development of deprivation amblyopia. Early intervention is required to pre vent complications. We present a case successfully treated with a combinati on of pulsed dye laser and intralesional steroid injection. The current man agement of haemangiomas is reviewed.
