| dc.description.abstract | Infantile hemangiomas are the most common tumors of infancy. Majority of them occur in the head and neck region and rarely in the respiratory tract. Oral corticosteroids are first-line drugs for such troublesome hemangiomas; interferon alfa and vincristine are used less often because of their toxic effects. Recent literature has described propranolol treatment for the vascular tumors. We present a 20-month-old girl with subglottic hemangioma whose respiratory symptoms did not resolve completely with corticosteroid treatment despite accompanying side effects and who was succesfully treated with oral propranolol. No side effects of propranolol was observed. As a conclusion, we propose that propranolol is a safe and effective treatment which markedly shortens the disease course and which should now be used as a first-line treatment in infantile subglottic hemangiomas.
