"On ultrasound, capillary haemangioma characteristically is hyperechoic and compressible lesions 4 with high peak intra-tumoural on arterial shift. Ultrasound is mostly useful for smaller, limited lesions. At some institutions, other criteria such as >5-6 vessels/cm2 and a maximum Doppler systolic flow of >2 kHz are used 5."
"Capillary haemangiomas are usually located anterior to the globe, in the eyelid, and are present at birth or shortly thereafter 3. They may involve the extra-ocular muscles and lacrimal glands and may extend intracranially through the optic canal or superior orbital fissure 4. Only rarely are they associated with systemic haemangiomas or with other pathology such as PHACES syndrome."

"During the first 3-6 months of life, these masses enlarge before gradually reducing in size from the age of 12-18 months. 30% have resolved by the age of 3 years and 75-90% by the age of 7 years 3. Injection of corticosteroids or systemic administration is effective but reserved for cases where vision is affected. Intra-tumoural laser therapy has also been used for larger lesions and, in recalcitrant cases, interferon or vincristine can be considered 6."

"Capillary haemangiomas of the orbit, also known as strawberry haemangiomas, on account of its colouring, or orbital infantile haemangiomas, are the most common orbital tumours of infancy, and unlike orbital cavernous haemangiomas, they are neoplasms rather than vascular malformations."
