Question
A child has a cervical hemangioma, and the family wants to know the severity of the condition, whether surgery is necessary, and the causes of the hemangioma. Additionally, the family is concerned about the possibility of recovery.
Answer
The treatment of cervical hemangiomas depends on their location and depth. If the hemangioma involves a major artery, treatment can be more challenging; if it is on the surface, laser or surgical treatment can be considered. Hemangiomas have a tendency to recur, so families should be mentally prepared. Postoperative wound care is especially important to avoid infection and to maintain a light diet.
