  • Title: [Corticotherapy in hemangiomas].
    Author: Femenía Reus A, Sariñana Natera C.
    Journal: Bol Med Hosp Infant Mex; 1976; 33(2):311-21. PubMed ID: 1259811.
    Abstract:
    A group of 17 patients with different types of hemangiomas that were submitted to treatment with steroids (prednisone) is studied. The results obtained are analyzed, together with the indications for the drug, its mechanism of action and the advantages of the doses used. Although this is not a definitive solution in all cases, considering the short number of complications observed, it is believed to be a treatment that be taken into account before more aggresive measures are followed, but it should never be done routinely.
