Q3. The best treatment option for this infant is…

A. Nothing B. Topical timolol C. Oral propranolol D. Laser E. Surgery Timolol 0.5% gel-forming solution

Best candidate:  Superficial, relatively flat hemangioma  Cosmetically sensitive location  Infant < 3 months of age  Apply 1 drop BID-TID  up to 12 months of age Risk of toxicity appears low  Monitoring not generally required

Oral Propranolol

• Non-selective beta-blocker • MOA? • Baseline maternal and infant history, heart rate • 20 mg/5 ml solution. Start at 0.5 mg/kg/day ÷ tid or bid and increase by 25% every 4 days to 2 mg/kg/day • Generally well-tolerated but hypoglycemia real risk • Continued until 12 to 18 months of age Question 4

Q4. Which of the following is true re: hemangioma ulceration?

A. Most often occurs during growth phase B. Usually painful C. Hemangioma often in a pressure-prone location D. Central whitening during rapid growth phase “red flag” E. All of the above

Q4. Which of the following are true re: hemangioma ulceration?

A. Most often occurs during growth phase B. Usually painful C. Hemangioma often in a pressure-prone location D. Central whitening during rapid growth phase “red flag” E. All of the above Ulceration Treatment

• Wound care – Barrier ointment • Mupirocin oint, gentamycin oint, white petrolatum – Keep covered with non- stick dressing • Duoderm • Pain control – Acetaminophen, lidocaine 5% oint • Oral propranolol
