Overview
The majority of cases of hemangioma are self-limited. Patients with small, stable hemangiomas in non-vital sites are treated with "wait and see" approach, whereas patients with fast growth of hemangioma are treated medically.
Medical Therapy
- Medical and surgical options are available for the treatment of “problematic” hemangiomas.[1][2]
- Medical management includes one or more systemic therapies.
- For massive and life-threatening disease:[1]
- These agents have also been used for:[1]
- Multifocal disease
- Visceral involvement
- Segmental distribution
- Airway obstruction
- Periorbital lesions
Propranolol
- A paradigm shift has occurred regarding the treatment of hemangiomas over the past few years.[1]
- Propranolol, a nonselective β-adrenergic antagonist, was serendipitous discovered to cause regression of proliferating hemangiomas in newborns receiving treatment for cardiovascular disease.
- Numerous studies demonstrating the success of propranolol for shrinking hemangiomas
- Over ninety percent of patients have dramatic reduction in the size of their hemangiomas as early as 1-2 weeks following the first dose of propranolol.
- Dosing for propranolol in treating hemangiomas is recommended to be 2-3 mg/kg separated into two or three-times-a-day regimens.
- These doses are dramatically below the concentration employed for cardiovascular conditions in children.[1]
Pediatric/Infantile hemangioma in proliferative phase:
- Oral regimen
- Preferred regimen (1): Propranolol 0.5 mL/kg PO q12h for 7 days;
- Propranolol 0.3 mL/kg PO q12h for 7 days;
- Propranolol 0.4 mL/kg PO q12h for 6 months
- Preferred regimen (1): Propranolol 0.5 mL/kg PO q12h for 7 days;
Beyond proliferative phase
- Oral regimen
- Preferred regimen (1): Propranolol 1.5-3 mg/kg/day PO for 8 months.[3]
