(IH) requiring medical treatment

- IH patients whose parents desire medical treatment for the IH

- Stable cardiac function

Exclusion Criteria:

- IH patients over 9 months of age.

- Hypersensitivity to propranolol

- Untreated heart failure: If the patient has heart failure associated with the
hemangioma, propranolol would be initiated after anti-congestive therapy and under
observation as an in-patient.

Age minimum: N/A
Age maximum: 9 Months
Gender: Both
Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
Hemangioma
Intervention(s)
Drug: Placebo
Drug: Prednisolone (Corticosteroid)
Drug: Propanolol
Primary Outcome(s)
Compare changes in IH size and vascularity for subjects randomized to receive initial treatment with corticosteroid-only therapy versus combination therapy with corticosteroids plus propranolol [Time Frame: 1, 2, and 6 months after treatment initiation]
Secondary Outcome(s)
Assess the safety of propranolol with corticosteroids and corticosteroids alone in the treatment of IH. [Time Frame: 1, 2 and 6 months after treatment initiation]
Demonstrate how duplex scanning to assess blood vessel density and qualitative color ratings of cutaneous lesions from photographs can be used to measure and quantify changes in IH size and vascularity in a clinically relevant manner. [Time Frame: 1, 2 and 6 months after treatment initiation]
Determine therapeutic response of IH to propranolol among patients who switch to corticosteroids plus propranolol therapy after failing to respond to corticosteroids alone. [Time Frame: 1, 2, and 6 months after treatment initiation]
