Topical Beta Blockers in Small Infantile Hemangioma: State of the Art?
Journal Title: Journal of Regenerative Biology and Medicine - Year 2021, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Infantile hemangiomas (IH) are benign forms of endothelial proliferation in the first 8 weeks of life [1-11]. Leaute-Labreze et al. published the first spontaneous cases of IH treated with beta blockers in 2008 due to their cardiac disease in the New England Journal of Medicine. This was a revolutionary new understanding of treatment in infantile hemangioma (IH). Not only systemic but also topical beta blockers seem to be an effective treatment option for small infantile hemangioma. Efficacy and safety of topical beta blockers in the treatment of infantile hemangioma (IH) were proved in systematic reviews and meta-analysis [11].
