Hemangioma é o tumor mais comum da infância, frequentemente situado na cabeça e pescoço. A órbita é frequentemente acometida e indica intervenção precoce e agressiva para evitar sérias complicações visuais. Reportam-se dois casos, nos quais há impedimento da visão no primeiro e, no segundo, um hemangioma profundo acomete áreas adjacentes, confirmado por exame radiológico. Demonstra-se sucesso terapêutico após corticoterapia sistêmica agressiva, evitando sequelas visuais permanentes, além do resultado estético satisfatório. O tratamento de escolha é o corticosteroide oral, devendo ser conduta individualizada e com bom seguimento clínico dos possíveis efeitos adversos<br>Hemangioma is the most common tumor of childhood and is commonly located on the head or neck. The orbit is often affected and early and aggressive intervention is required to prevent serious visual complications. This paper reports on two cases. In the first case, the patient's vision was impaired, while in the second case a deep hemangioma affecting adjacent areas was confirmed radiologically. Treatment with aggressive systemic corticotherapy was successful, thus avoiding permanent damage to the patients' vision. Furthermore, esthetic outcome was satisfactory. The treatment of choice is oral corticosteroids and management should be individualized and should include careful follow-up to monitor possible adverse effects
