Summary
This is a prospective randomized, double-blind study to compare the clinical efficacy of
infantile hemangioma treatment using propranolol with corticosteroids as compared to therapy
with corticosteroids and placebo. We hypothesize that a two-month treatment period with
propranolol plus corticosteroids is more effective at reducing infantile hemangioma size and
vascularity when compared to corticosteroids used without propranolol for the same time
period.
