Efficacy of propranolol in hepatic infantile hemangiomas with diffuse neonatal hemangiomatosis
Abstract
We report the rapid and dramatic efficacy of propranolol in 8 infants with infantile hepatic hemangiomas. The degree of response varied from a significant improvement to a complete resolution of hepatic lesions. Heart failure and hypothyroidism resolved, and hepatomegaly decreased. No side-effects of the drug were noted.
