The intralesional injection of corticosteroids has been employed successfully in treatment of adnexal neonatal hemangiomas since 1979. This form of treatment is easily administered, is repeatable and free from serious complications. We present an exceptional case in which full-thickness eyelid necrosis ensued following intralesional injection of corticosteroids in a capillary hemangioma. After eyelid reconstruction the patient's visual axis has remained unobstructed, and amblyopia has been thus far averted.
