Propranolol was first used in 2008 to treat hemangioma; its efficacy and safety have since changed the classical treatment indications. Infantile hepatic hemangioma presents as a spectrum of clinical conditions varying from simple asymptomatic lesions to lethal complications. Tufted hemangioma and Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma are congenital vascular tumors that lead to Kasabach-Merritt syndrome. Hemangiomas, like pure arteriovenous malformations, can cause hyperdynamic heart failure, and diffuse nodular-type hemangiomas can present with hypothyroidism. Respiratory problems and hepatic failure can be associated with diffuse nodulartype liver hemangiomas. There is a spectrum of approaches to management, varying from "watchful waiting" to liver transplant. In the age of propranolol, there has been a prominent change in the infantile hepatic hemangioma treatment algorithm. Our suggestion is early treatment with 3 mg/kg/day propranolol plus 1.0 to1.5 mg/kg/day prednisolone in all patients. This protocol is the most effective strategy for type 3 infantile hepatic hemangioma. Approximately one-third of patients with abdominal compartment syndrome in the era before propranolol treatment required liver transplant; this new treatment obviates transplant for many of these patients.
