[Hemodynamic repercussions of a giant hemangioma treated by compression]

The authors report a case of giant hemangioma with thrombocytopenia, whose very important increase was responsible for acute congestive heart failure with pre-renal failure. In order to limit the tumoral volume, a compressive dressing was applied which had to be removed at first, as it had respiratory and hemodynamic consequences. A dressing was reapplied, and with concomitant diuresis obtained a dramatic improvement. The volemic changes observed in this case are discussed.
