Infantile hemangiomas (IH) are benign vascular growths seen in approximately 4% to 5% of infants. 1, 2 These lesions generally appear in the first few weeks of life, proliferate rapidly for 6 to 9 months, and then gradually involute. 3 Most IH lesions regress over time without functional or cosmetic impairment, but a significant subset develop complications that can be life threatening or permanent. 4Potential complications of IH include impairment of visual or respiratory function, ulceration, permanent anatomic distortion, dyspigmentation, and significant scarring. Haggstrom and colleagues reported that 24% of 1,058 patients with IH who were followed in a national registry developed complications. The most common area of involvement is the face, with 22.9% of facial hemangiomas developing complications and 43% requiring intervention. 4 The optimal approach to IH treatment consists of recognizing lesions that are more likely to be problematic based on location and rapidity of growth and intervening in a timely manner to prevent or minimize adverse sequelae. 5 There is no standardized management strategy for IH, but a variety of treatments are used to decrease the proliferative phase and increase speed of involution.
