droopy eyelid part 3 - was told was hemangioma??!! what???

[bumbly]

well went ot hospital and i basically feel let down - again

they found nothing wrong in eyesight and said didn't know what is is...perhaps hemangioma

story so far:

lo since born has two eyes different form one another - very mild

but during 7-8 months got real worse (thought teething) with left eyelid drooping erratically and intermittently quite badly - never covering pupil but def a droop

sometimes looks like extra crease? more skin on eyelid?

doc could be hemangioma

i thought those were on skin - no sign of anything on skin of my little one

anyone else have this? any info>

today def got depressed as eye has actually got worse since drops put in is eyes to dilate pupil few days ago!

feel bad and low anbd depressed

anyone?????

noone???

Hi - I don't know if this is relevant at all - and I think you should phone the doctor and ask him/her to go over what they meant again, otherwise you're going to worry more and it could be very minor, but I've got what's called a cavernous haemangioma behind my left eye.

they're completely benign little lumps, I think formed when blood vessels clump together (I'm sure there's a better medical explanation ) and if they grow, they can cause one eye to bulge - or if your LO has got one maybe behind the eyelid this could cause it to droop a bit??

Mine's tucked away behind my eye and the eye doctors I see are completely unconcerned about it - annual check up to make sure I'm OK but other than that no treatment needed at all.

Definitely phone your doc tomorrow if you can - they won't mind - and try to take some notes when you speak to them and ask them when they'll want to see your LO next.

good luck!
