Hemangiomas are benign proliferative lesions of the blood vessels. The hemangiomas may be present in different locations such as skin, abdomen or intracranial. They may accompany syndromes as Kasabach-Meritt and Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber. The aim of this study is to emphasize the importance of early surgical intervention during the early postnatal period in order to prevent the late complications of giant hemangiomas.
