When present, symptoms may be due to hemorrhage from spontaneous or traumatic rupture of a hemangioma. A few patients present with splenomegaly. Splenic hemangiomas may be single or multiple and usually present as a hyperechoic mass in the spleen. [sonoworld.com]
The unusual unilateral, blaschkoid distribution of BRBNS prompted this present report. [e-ijd.org]
A patient with BRBNS is most likely to first present to an oral physician as it has been estimated that oral lesions occur in 59-64% of cases. Oromaxillofacial lesions may present as either blue rubber blebs or cavernous hemangiomas as in our case. [bioline.org.br]

- Vascular Disease
OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that many cases reported as diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis did not have infantile hemangiomas (IH), but represented more recently described neonatal vascular diseases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
The diagnosis is very difficult and usually requires an extensive workup. In a review of the Japanese literature, preoperative diagnosis was obtained in only 24.1% of patients [ 11 ]. [em-consulte.com]
The diagnosis essentially is one of exclusion and must be based on combined clinical, radiological and histopathological findings. 9 X-rays, CT, MRI, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine (bone scans) are all important tools in the diagnostic workup and surgical [lgdalliance.org]
These patients require rapid diagnosis and treatment to prevent permanent complications (see Presentation, Workup, and Treatment. [emedicine.medscape.com]
[…] histological features of lung specimens from nine patients in whom no extrathoracic lesions were identified, which they termed "diffuse pulmonary lymphangiomatosis" (DPL). [4] Recognition of the disease requires a high index of suspicion and an extensive workup [en.wikipedia.org]
Treatment
This era was followed by improved environmental factors which operate to produce methods of medical treatment, introduction congenital cardiac malformations. [books.google.de]
An improvement in the coagulopathy was observed after 10 days of treatment with interferon alfa-2a alone. After six months of treatment there was 95 percent regression of the lesion, and treatment was stopped. [nejm.org]

Treatment In general, the goals of hemangioma treatment are to prevent loss of life or function, and to prevent scarring, either before or as a result of therapy. [aafp.org]

Good prognosis- mostly cutaneous involvement U/S liver--> greater than 5 cutaneous lesions impart a 16% chance of liver involvement, leading to hypothyroidism check TSH--> MR and cardiac failure can ensue if hypothyroidism not detected ** Clinical syndromes [cram.com]
The prognosis is often poor due to failure to thrive, fluid and electrolyte imbalances, and sepsis. [bobbybukamd.com]
Etiology
Their etiology is not precisely century with the first clinical recognition of known, so we have included chapters that dis symptoms and patterns for diagnosis of car cuss many aspects of congenital cardiac mal diovascular diseases. [books.google.de]
Etiology Kasabach-Merritt syndrome is usually caused by kaposiform hemangioendothelioma or tufted angioma. Other vascular tumors may be responsible, such as infantile hemangioma. The radiographic features are specific to each vascular tumor. [radiopaedia.org]
Gorham’s (GOR-amz) disease is a very rare skeletal condition of uncertain etiology, characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation of distended, thin-walled vascular or lymphatic channels within bone, which leads to resorption and replacement of bone [lgdalliance.org]
There is no hereditary, metabolic, neoplastic immunologic or infectious etiology. The etiology of Gorham's syndrome or massive osteolysis is unknown. [ijpmonline.org]
Etiology Sepsis (more commonly with gram-negative organisms) Malignancies Surgery on thrombokinase-rich organs (e.g., lung, prostate, pancreas ) Acute traumatic coagulopathy Acute hemolytic transfusion reaction ( AHTR ) Traumatic brain injury Fat embolism [amboss.com]
