RESUMEN
Los hemangiomas constituyen los tumores hepáticos vasculares más frecuentes durante la infancia. Casi siempre son de naturaleza benigna, y la mayoría de ellos se diagnostica casualmente, sin presentar relevancia clínica. Cuando son sintomáticos, se recomienda inicialmente realizar tratamiento médico con corticoides. Cuando falla el tratamiento médico en el control de los hemangiomas sintomáticos, deben aplicarse medidas más agresivas, como la ligadura de la arteria hepática, la embolización, la resección hepática, etc. Describimos el caso de un hemangioma hepático neonatal resistente al tratamiento médico, en el que se realizó exitosamente una ligadura selectiva de la arteria hepática
ABSTRACT
Hemangiomas are the most common type of hepatic vascular tumors in infants. They are nearly always benign, and most of them are diagnosed incidentally and have no clinical significance. When they produce symptoms, medical treatment, such as corticosteroid therapy, is initially recommended. If medical management fails to control symptomatic hemangiomas, they should be treated aggressively (by hepatic artery ligation, embolization, resection, etc.). We report the case of a hepatic hemangioma in a newborn infant that was resistant to medical treatment, but was successfully treated by selective hepatic artery ligation
