Abstract

Three cases of parotid haemangioma in infants are presented. Compression therapy was applied in these cases using a resin splint and a headcap and they were very effective. In the first case, the lesion had begun to reduce in volume within two weeks after starting the compression therapy. The haemangioma had disappeared completely in sixteen months. In the second and third cases, the lesions have disappeared in eight months and fifteen months, respectively. In all of the cases, no side effects were noticed. We believe that compression therapy is a safe and effective treatment modality for haemangiomas in infants even though these may disappear spontaneously in some cases.
