BACKGROUND: More and more infantile hemangiomas (IH) are being treated with propranolol, but the effectiveness, dosage, and treatment course are still in dispute. The aim of this observational study was to describe the therapeutic response, tolerance, and safety of low-dose propranolol in 23 children with IH of the head and neck.
METHODS: Data were collected from the medical charts of patients treated with low-dose propranolol from December 2009 through November 2011. Oral dose was 1-1.5 mg/kg once per day. Blood pressure and heart rate were monitored during the first 24 h of treatment. In the absence of side-effects, treatment was continued at home and the child was re-evaluated every month.
RESULTS: All patients had a good response, even if treated with corticosteroid previously. Color and growth changes within 1 week were noted. Treatment continued for a mean total duration of 6 months until the IH had totally disappeared or stabilized. There were no severe adverse reactions. Side-effects were limited and mild, including blood pressure decrease, somnolence, and nausea. No relapse was noted.
CONCLUSIONS: Low-dose propranolol appears to be effective and safe for IH, especially for those patients previously treated with corticosteroid and who had no response or severe side-effects.
