ABSTRACT

Female 2 month-old baby with scalp capillary haemangioma. We report the diagnostic approach and therapeutic embolization angiography before surgical treatment. This technique accurates anatomical definition of vascular anomalies of the scalp and surgery may be facilitated avoiding complications like bleeding.
