Hemangioma PatternsLocalized and Segmental• Segmental: Broad anatomic region or recognizeddevelopmental unit (such as the entire ear)• Localized: Confined spatially, often appear to arisefrom central focal point

Risk of Segmentals• Segmental hemangiomas much morelikely to experience complications• Facial segmental hemangiomas are muchmore likely to require systemic treatment• Segmentals have much higher risk ofextra-cutaneous morbidities i.e. PHACEsyndrome and LUMBAR syndromeHaggstrom et al. Pediatrics 2006 Sep;118(3):882-7
