Hemangiomas in children

Article Abstract:

Hemangiomas are very common tumors in children, affecting 5% to 10% of all children. They affect the soft tissues of the body, including the skin. Many are benign and will eventually disappear. Others may last a long time and cause permanent disfigurement. Hemangiomas that occur inside the body may be especially troublesome because they may affect the function of an organ. Treatment options include lasers, corticosteroids taken orally or injected directly into the tumor, and interferon alpha. Surgery can be used for cutaneous hemangiomas. Some will go away spontaneously and require no treatment.

The changing faces of children with cleft lip and palate

Article Abstract:

Cleft lip with or without cleft palate is one of the common birth defects and is certainly the most visible. During the past decade, the old staged operations have been superseded by synchronous repair of the bilateral labial cleft, gums and nasal deformity; children born with such malformation now look as good as their counterparts with a unilateral cleft.
