Infantile hemangiomas, occurring at birth or during the first weeks of life, are benign vascular tumors with an initial proliferative phase and a later involutional phase. The massive proliferation on the key regions and unpredicted regression may threaten life. Thus, early management of infantile hemangiomas is necessary for affected infancies. Recent studies showed that propranolol for infant...
