| description | Infantile Haemangiomas (IH) are the most common vascular tumors
occurring in early childhood, with a prevalence of approximately 5-
10% of infants. These vascular tumors are divided into two main
groups including; infantile haemangioma and vascular malformations. Although, haemangioma of infancy are common, benign and selflimited tumors, a significant percent of these lesions are associated with substantial morbidity in infancy and childhood.
All currently used treatments have significant risks. Dramatic improvement of complicated haemangioma of infancy to propranolol was recently reported.
Here in, we review infantile haemangioma as a whole with focus on the therapeutic efficacy of systemic and topical propranolol as a betablockers for the management of infantile haemangioma. |
