Intralesional corticosteroid injections for infantile hemangiomas of the eyelid.

Abstract	Infants with capillary hemangiomas of the eyelid are at risk for amblyopia and strabismus. Several methods of treating these tumors have been associated with complications and limitations. The use of intralesional corticosteroid injections has been demonstrated to be a simple, safe, and effective method of treating capillary hemangiomas of the eyelid.
