Abstract
The forearm intramuscular hemangiomas are increasingly described in the literature. The most common variants are about old children and teenagers. We reported a case of a forearm intramuscular hemangioma at a newborn, revealed by a compartment syndrome, which diagnosis were hard in a developing country as ours.

Facing up to this seemingly benign tumor with neurological complication and absence of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) unavailable in our country, an exploratory surgical procedure was decided after a multidisciplinary dialogue
Summary
The infantile intramuscular hemangioma is a benign vascular tumor present at 10% of the infants. It is up to the group of the vascular tumors in the classification of the International Society for the Study of Vascular Anomalies [1,2,3,4] This cutaneous tumor can extend to adjacent tissues, in particular oral cavity or genitals, and may be associated with visceral hemangioma. Its diagnosis is easy and characterized in its cutaneous common form by an explosive postnatal growth and secondarily a slow regression. In this order, the tumour appears as a red tuberous mass, subcutaneous mass or mixed shape in “poached egg”. We reported a newborn forearm hemangioma which diagnosis was difficult
