Summary

An infant with a large hemangioma (strawberry mark with a cavernous component) of the eyelid was successfully treated with photocoagulation. The method resulted in rapid involution of the lesion and the visual function of the involved eye could be preserved.

A similar treatment in a case with strawberry mark and another with pigmented nevus in the eyelid brought about excellent cosmetic results.

Die Therapie führte zu einer schnellen Rückbildung der Veränderung und das Sehvermögen des betroffenen Auges konnte erhalten werden.

Eine ähnliche Behandlung bei einem tuberösen Haemangiom und eine weitere mit einem pigmentierten Tierfellnaevus im Augenlid führte ebenfalls zu ausgezeichneten kosmetischen Ergebnissen.
