Two infants with symptomatic periocular hemangiomas received 1-ml intralesional injections of a 50:50 mixture of triamcinolone acetonide (40 mg/ml) and betamethasone (8 mg/ml).

One patient remained adrenal suppressed for five months and, concurrently, her growth rate and weight dropped from normal to below the fifth percentile. Adrenal suppression should be added to the growing list of complications caused by the corticosteroid injection of periocular hemangiomas.
