- Pediatric surgery
- Musculoskeletal conditions
Background:
- Intramuscular hemangiomas are uncommon vascular tumors.
- They typically grow slowly and are often asymptomatic.
- Complications are rare but can occur with extensive involvement.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a rare case of a hemangioma affecting the Flexor Digitorum Superficialis muscle.
- To highlight the management of extensive intramuscular hemangioma in a pediatric patient.
Main Methods:
- Surgical excision of the affected muscle.
- Post-operative assessment of functional recovery.
Main Results:
- Successful excision of an extensive Flexor Digitorum Superficialis hemangioma.
- Patient experienced minimal residual finger flexion weakness post-surgery.
Conclusions:
- Intramuscular hemangiomas, though rare, can require extensive surgical intervention.
- Surgical management can yield positive outcomes in pediatric cases with functional deficits.
