AbstractInfantile hepatic hemangioma (IHH) is the most common benign hepatic tumor of infancy. It is characterized by rapid proliferation in the first year of life, followed by slow involution during childhood. Presentation can range from asymptomatic to severe, high-output congestive heart failure (CHF). The purpose of this article is to review the case of an infant with an atypical presentation of IHH. It also addresses pathophysiology, diagnosis, management, and multidisciplinary team care.

Seventeen patients had a history of congestive heart failure in infancy out of a total of 125 cases of ventricular septal defect reviewed. The initial episode of cardiac decompensation occurred in the first 6 months of life. Ten of the patients had evidence of unremitting failure and died in the first year of life, while seven survived infancy. Exacerbations of decompensation after infancy were rare; patients who survived the first year of life did not succumb to complications of the defect in childhood.

Hepatic Hemangiomas

Congenital hepatic hemangiomas are rare benign vascular tumors present at birth. They often are asymptomatic but can have significant complications and mortality that directly correlate with the tumor characteristics and size. Congenital hemangiomas generally regress during the first year of life and are managed medically or surgically depending on its course. We present a case of a full-term newborn with a symptomatic giant congenital hepatic hemangioma that received propranolol and corticosteroid therapy.

First Year Of Life

According to multiple researchers and studies, congenital heart disease (CHD) occurs in approximately 4.8–12.0 of 1,000 live births in the general population, and 2.4 per 1,000 cases are serious enough to require surgery or cardiac catheterization in the first year of life.1 Historically, it has been assumed that the earlier the gestational age with CHD, the poorer the outcome; however, with continued improvements in neonatal care, this hypothesis should be looked at more closely. This case illustrates the challenges associated with prematurity, complex cardiac defects, intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), and other congenital anomalies that increase the risk of infection and/or surgical intervention. It will discuss the hospital course of a twin, born at 27 weeks gestation, who was found to have all of these diagnoses, yet, despite the complexity of his case, he had a predominantly uncomplicated hospital course.
