The pediatrician has a crucial role in identifying those lesions that will require intervention and in referring the patient to the pediatric dermatologist. Considering that the period of accelerated growth of IH occurs between 5.5 and 7.5 weeks of life, reference to the specialist should ideally be carried out at that time<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0035"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span></a> seeking the window of opportunity for optimal treatment.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a></p><p id="par0100" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Propranolol is a non-selective beta blocker that is considered the current treatment of choice for IH that require systemic therapy.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0040"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a> The most commonly used doses of propranolol are 1 to 1.5 mg/kg twice daily.

Achieving these positive results could prevent serious functional losses such as the potential loss of vision in a periocular hemangioma or difficulty feeding in an ulcerated hemangioma on the lips. It may also prevent serious cosmetic sequelae that may require surgical interventions. Therefore, for those IH requiring treatment, prompt initiation decreases morbidity and improves long-term outcomes.</p><p id="par0115" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Propranolol has an excellent safety profile and high tolerability.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0055"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></a> The most commonly reported adverse reactions are the coolness of the distal extremities and sleep disturbances which can improve with a reduction in dosage or by giving the evening dosing earlier, respectively.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5,10</span></a> However, the most serious potential complication is hypoglycemia, which can be prevented by administering the medication after feeding and stopping it during illnesses in which the child is not feeding adequately. Other side effects are gastrointestinal symptoms and bronchial hyperreactivity which may require temporary discontinuation of treatment. Even though bradycardia and hypotension are very infrequent in healthy children and when they occur are usually asymptomatic, guidelines suggest controlling the heart rate and arterial pressure 2 hours after the first dose of propranolol and also after an increase of the dose.</p><p id="par0120" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Nowadays, it is recommended to perform an ECG screening only in infants with a baseline heart rate below normal for age, or in those with a family history of congenital heart conditions, arrhythmias, or a maternal history of connective tissue disease.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0050"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a></p><p id="par0125" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Patients with PHACE syndrome require special consideration because they have an increased risk of having cardiac and cerebrovascular anomalies as well as stroke; so it is preferable to use the lowest effective dose of propranolol, divided into three daily doses, in order to prevent large fluctuations in blood pressure.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0060"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></a></p></span><span id="sec0025" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0065">Conclusion</span><p id="par0130" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Early intervention is critical in treating IH.
