Case ReportsPrenatally diagnosed congenital hemangioma with elevated middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity mimicking the Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon: A case report.
Congenital hemangioma is a rare vascular tumor that develops prenatally, and a large congenital hemangioma may be accompanied by the Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon. We present a case of prenatally diagnosed fetal congenital hemangioma through ultrasound and maternal anti-Jr(a) antibody alloimmunization with elevated middle cerebral artery peak systolic velocity. ⋯ After birth, congenital hemangioma was found on the infant's left thigh, and Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon was not shown. Percutaneous umbilical blood sampling could provide precise information prenatally in case of congenital hemangioma with maternal alloimmunization.
