AbstractTo explore the treatment experience of neonatal hepatic hemangioma (HH) with intestinal obstruction. Case 1 was 2.5 kg at birth and was 7 days old at the time of the visit. Case 1 underwent surgery 2 weeks after birth, and it was confirmed that HH was located in the left inner lobe of the liver, and it adhered to the ileocecal area to form an acute angle, leading to intestinal obstruction. The intestinal obstruction was significantly relieved. Postoperative pathology showed that case 1 had a congenital hemangioma. Case 1 started breastfeeding 3 days after the operation; the bowel function was well recovered, and the abdominal distension was significantly relieved. The child was discharged 1 week after the operation. Case 2 was 2.7 kg at birth and was 1 day old at the time of the visit. Case 2 was operated on 2 days after birth. During the operation, it was confirmed that the hepatic blood vessels were in the right anterior lobe of the liver. Postoperative pathology showed that case 2 had an infantile hemangioma. The posterior intestinal obstruction was significantly relieved. Case 2 began to drink a small amount of water on the 5th day after the operation and started breastfeeding on day 7. The abdominal distension was significantly relieved, and the stools were normal. reexamination showed no obvious recurrence of HH during a 2-year follow-up. Active surgical treatment should be considered if there is a risk of intestinal perforation to prevent serious complications.Copyright © 2023 the Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
