The concept of hemangioma
Hemangioma – General and nonspecific term, denoting benign tumors from vascular tissue, vascular ribbons and vascular development.
Hemangiomas are found at 1.1 – 2.6% of all newborns, and by the end of the first year of life this indicator increases to 10.1%. Gemangiomes of skin and mucous – Frequently found benign vascular formations, which make up 50% of soft tissue tumors in children. Girls have hemangiomas in 2–3 times more often than boys.
The appearance of hemangiom
Usually hemangiomas are found immediately after birth and significantly less often – During the first two months of life. 75% make up children under the age of year, and half of them – Children up to 6 months of life.
Especially rapid growth of hemangiom is noted in the first half of the child's life, subsequently this process slows down, the exception is the hemangiomas of complex anatomical localization.
Some hemangiomas, after rapid growth during the first year of life, over the next 5 – 7 years may be subject to reverse spontaneous development. In this regard, part of the doctors warns against an excessive active treatment with hemangiom in children, recommending sometimes observation.
Despite the possibility of self-excretion and stop the growth of hemangioma, with the subsequent involution, its further current remains unpredictable. The calculation on spontaneous regression can sometimes be untenable, and the loss of time is clearly not beneficial. In addition, it is established that only 6.7% hemangioms are regressing.
Factors affecting hemangiom growth
Despite its benign nature, hemangiomas have features of clinically malignant current. Even point and small vascular tumors in newborns can show rapid growth, often reaching large sizes. Provocate the growth of hemangioms Nootropic and vasoactive drugs (nootropyl, piracetam and others), appointed newborn and breastfeeding for the treatment of brain pathology.
