- 15. Defective maturation of cutaneous sympathetic innervation during embryogenesis, leading to localised intradermal capillary vasodilatation. At birth, they appear as flat, smooth, intensely purplestained areas, most frequently on the head and neck, often within the maxillary and mandibular dermatomes of the trigeminal nerve; with age their surfaces become more keratotic and nodular.
- 16. TreatmentTreatment • Allowed for spontaneous regression. • Otherwise by laser therapy – pulsed dye laser (diode laser). • CO2 snow therapy. • Sclerosant therapy. • Steroid - oral / intralesional / systemic. • Therapeutic embolisation

- 18. Cavernous HaemangiomaCavernous Haemangioma • It is present at birth and consists of a multiple venous channels. • Its size increases gradually and may cause problems. • Sites: Head, neck, face, limbs, tongue, liver and other internal organs. • Large or multiple cavernous haemangiomas can cause congestive heart failure (hyperdynamic) due to shunting of large quantity of blood.
- 20. Clinical FeaturesClinical Features • It is smooth, soft, well-localised, warm, fluctuant, compressible, nonpulsatile swelling with bluish surface occurring in skin and subcutaneous tissue (often in mucosa like oral cavity) without any transillumination. • Compressibility and bluish surface is diagnostic.
- 21. TreatmentTreatment •• Sclerosant therapySclerosant therapy • Ligation of feeding artery and often at later stage excision is done once haemangioma shrinks. • Therapeutic embolisation. • If small and located in accessible area, excision is the initial therapy. • Laser ablation – diode pulsed laser is becoming popular because of good control of bleeding.
