    Author: Adams DM, Ricci KW.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Clin North Am; 2018 Feb; 51(1):77-87. PubMed ID: 29217069.
    Abstract:
    Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are benign vascular tumors of infancy most common in the region of the head and neck. Infantile hemangiomas are common; but they are extremely heterogeneous and cause a range of complications depending on their morphology, size, or location. Medical interventions for high-risk patients include topical and systemic therapies, including oral propranolol, which has revolutionized the management of IHs over the past recent years. In the following article, the authors aim to provide a review of the natural history, pathology, complications, syndromes, and medical management of infantile hemangioma.
