J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus. 1989 May-Jun;26(3):124-7. doi: 10.3928/0191-3913-19890501-07.

Abstract

A 1-year-old girl developed a linear atrophy 3 months after a second injection of intralesional steroids for a periorbital hemangioma, followed by spontaneous resolution of the atrophy within 13 months. Reported and potential complications of intralesional steroids for periorbital hemangiomas are reviewed.
