ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effects and complications of injection with triamcinolone acetonide acetate and Pingyangmycin on maxillofacial and perineal hemangioma. Methods Local injection with triamcinolone acetonide acetate (TAA) and Pingyangmycin (PYM) was performed to treat infant maxillofacial and perineal hemangiomas strawberry hemangioma, cavernous hemangioma and mixed hemangioma, in 107 infants admitted to our hospital from 1996 to 2005. If the lesion did not disappear after the first treatment, the injection would be performed again every four to six weeks interval, and the total dose of TAA and PYM could not be more than 100 mg and 40 mg respectively. The injection treatment was repeated 4 times for one course and the therapeutic effects on maxillofacial and perineal hemangioma was evaluated. Results All cases were followed up for one year after local injection of TAA and PYM. The cure rate was 87.8%, the effective rate was 9.3%, and the ineffective rate was 2.8%. Conclusion The injection of TAA and PYM is a reliable and less side effect therapeutic method, and valuable for infant maxillofacial and perineal hemangioma.
