Propranolol for treatment of infantile hemangiomas
A 6-month old girl born at 35 weeks, was referred with a combined superficial and\ndeep segmental IH (S3 and S4 involvement of PHACES syndrome) (). Recently she underwent a successful cardiac surgery\nfor correction of an interventricular wall defect. We decided to investigate\nneurological and ophthalmological abnormalities, suspecting PHACES syndrome, and she\nwas diagnosed with strabismus. We started propranolol at 8 months, with a rapid\nimprovement of the hemangioma and strabismus within a month (). She was treated with propranolol until 1 year and 8\nmonths of age, and four months later, the hemangioma remains without signs of\nrecurrence ().
