GIANT CYSTIC HYGROMA OF FACE AND NECK

A 5 days old male child presented with antenatally detected huge Cystic Hygroma, with a characteristic heart shaped double headed appearance. Child presented with respiratory distress and was managed with early surgical excision successfully. Early surgery was performed because the Cystic Hygroma was compressing the structures in the face and neck, besides causing severe disfigurement. The paper is being presented for the interesting appearance of the child at birth and the successful surgical outcome. Residual disabilities were corrected with Bleomycin. These combination modalities resulted in an almost normal looking child.
