Hemangiomas are the most common tumors in children. It id reported the case of 11 months girl with congenital hemangioma at internal orbitary edge. ENT exploration is essential to rule out the affectation of nose and paranasal sinuses as well as other associated similar injuries in head and neck. As complementary tests we asked for CT and IRM to delimit the tumoration whose classic treatment are oral corticoids in high doses. Surgery usually is reserved for refractory cases to the medical therapy although the present exposition is changing due to different factors that we expose in the final discussion.
