Propranolol for treatment of infantile hemangiomas
A 2-month-old girl born at term was referred to our clinic with a protuberant\nhemangioma on face, impinging on the superior right eyelid (). Propranolol was introduced, and the lesion reduced in\nsize and had largely healed within 6 months (). This infant had an eye examination and impairment of visual function,\nstrabismus, astigmatism or amblyopia were ruled out. At the age of 9 months, she\ndeveloped a red telangiectatic macula in the previous hemangioma area (). It is being planned to taper off\npropranolol after the child is 1 year and 6 months of age.
