One of the most common benign tumors of the eye in young children is hemangioma. When a baby is conceived in the mother’s womb, blood vessel formation is a continuous process of development, and tumors can occur at each stage of the process. Most common in infancy are capillary hemangiomas, also called infantile hemangiomas. They are usually found within 3 months of birth and develop rapidly. After the baby is one year old, hemangiomas begin to shrink and most can spontaneously subside by the age of about 7 years. These tumors tend to grow under the skin on the inside of the upper eyelid and are mildly elevated, appearing blue on the eyelid, and increase in size when the child cries. A soft subcutaneous swelling can be felt. However, a few tumors may invade or originate inside the orbit, that is, around or behind the eye, causing protrusion and displacement of the eye, and they develop quickly and do not easily fade spontaneously, requiring attention. It is important to note that infantile hemangiomas may affect visual development regardless of where they occur in the eye, causing eye problems such as amblyopia, strabismus and astigmatism.
