Two-year-old Qianqian had a strawberry-like sarcoma on the right side of her brain, which was present at birth and grew gradually. Some people say that the hemangioma on the child’s brain can be ignored, and when the child is older, it will disappear on its own; but others say that pediatric hemangioma will increase as the child grows older, and will lead to other diseases in the future, it is best to treat it early. In the face of different claims, Qianqian’s mother was at a loss. In fact, there are not a few parents who have doubts about pediatric hemangioma like Qianqian’s mother. In fact, pediatric hemangioma is not a real tumor, its real name is congenital misdevelopment of blood vessel structure, because its shape is like a tumor, so it is customarily called pediatric hemangioma. Pediatric hemangioma is the most common type of congenital vascular malformation in children. The incidence of this disease is relatively high, and there are dozens of such cases in pediatric departments of children’s hospitals or large hospitals every month. The most common sites of pediatric hemangioma are the head, face and neck, followed by the arms and legs, and the oral mucosa and muscles. Pediatric hemangiomas can be as small as a few millimeters, or as large as the entire face, arms or legs. The growth of pediatric hemangiomas is faster during the first 6 to 10 months of life, when they continue to grow and expand, and rapidly invade the surrounding skin and deeper tissues. After 10 months of life, the growth rate of hemangioma slows down. As young children grow, hemangioma grows slowly, but the growth rate will still be faster than pediatric growth. Four types of hemangiomas look different and do different harm According to the different pathology and clinical manifestations, pediatric hemangiomas are now medically classified into four categories: capillary hemangioma, cavernous hemangioma, trabecular hemangioma, and mixed hemangioma. 1.Strawberry hemangioma can fade away by itself. Capillary hemangioma is composed of abnormally developed and expanded capillaries, and it can be divided into two categories, one is simple capillary hemangioma, which is found in children after birth, and can appear on the head, face and neck. As the name suggests, the shape of hemangioma is like strawberry, and only this kind of hemangioma can fade away by itself, and the fading age of children with this kind of hemangioma is usually around 4 years old. From the symptoms, the Qian Qian in the previous example is suffering from strawberry hemangioma, which is able to fade on its own. 2, spongy hemangioma is more dangerous spongy hemangioma, composed of numerous blood sinusoidal development deformity, from the appearance of it is a kind of elevated swelling above the skin surface, mostly in the scalp and face, can also occur in the intermuscular, interbone, the shape is round, flat or irregular shape, size varies, spongy hemangioma is relatively soft, elastic, can be reduced after squeezing. Spongiform hemangioma cannot fade on its own and is more harmful to children. Larger spongiform hemangiomas can also be combined with thrombocytopenia, especially in young infants and children, because of frequent bleeding and lower platelets. In addition to causing brain hemorrhage, cavernous hemangioma can also cause breathing difficulties and secondary infections in infants and children, which can be life-threatening in serious cases. Cranial hemangioma and mixed hemangioma will not fade on their own Cranial hemangioma is made up of most enlarged small arteries and veins communicating with each other, with a bead-like appearance, high surface temperature and dark red and blue-purple skin. Cranial hemangiomas do not fade on their own. Hybrid hemangioma is a mixture of two or more types of hemangiomas, but one of them is the main type of hemangioma, and hybrid hemangioma does not go away by itself. Most of them can be completely cured. What should parents do for their children with pediatric hemangioma? Because parents do not have professional knowledge, they cannot tell which kind of hemangioma their child has and whether it will subside on its own in the future, so it is necessary to go to a specialist after finding out that their child has hemangioma. Otherwise, pediatric hemangioma may continue to grow and may cause serious illnesses such as heart failure or even endanger life. There are many treatment methods for pediatric hemangioma, such as laser treatment, cryotherapy, sclerotherapy, surgery, etc. Doctors will use different treatment methods for different conditions, but they can generally cure them completely and leave no scars.
