Hemangiomas are not aneurysms. Hemangiomas are benign lesions and are not particularly harmful. Like an aneurysm, such as one in the brain or stomach, once it ruptures, it will cause massive bleeding, but in most cases hemangioma does not require special intervention. Hemangioma is a small malformation of a blood vessel. For example, it should be a normal blood vessel, but it swells or has arterial or venous communication. In the above situation, the pressure changes, the blood vessel bulges, or the blood vessel wall itself becomes diseased.
The blood vessels should be running straight, but they become tortuous, the range suddenly becomes large, and the volume becomes very large. Its shape and structure are due to genetic factors or adverse stimulation, smoking, and psychological stress. Many factors and comprehensive factors such as stress and anxiety lead to benign lesions and hemangioma in the blood vessel wall. Most hemangiomas do not require intervention and can only be observed, but a small number require surgical treatment.
Hemangioma is a common benign tumor. The main methods to treat hemangioma are surgery, sclerotherapy, cryotherapy, laser therapy, isotope therapy, etc.
The most common type of infantile hemangioma is strawberry-shaped hemangioma on the skin. For strawberry-shaped hemangioma in infants, maleic acid eye drops can be used to treat them, but they need to be applied for three months. It takes half a year to be cured.
Depending on the location of the hemangioma and the size of the hemangioma, the treatment methods are not exactly the same.
If the hemangioma grows in a more important part, such as spinal hemangioma or brain hemangioma, it is also very difficult to treat, and it is not easy to completely cure it. Radiation therapy can be used to treat benign or borderline hemangioma, which can stop angiogenesis, capillary occlusion, and cause hemangioma to regress. At the same time, radiotherapy can also reduce the probability of postoperative recurrence of malignant hemangioma and prolong the survival time of patients.
