What Are the Management/Treatment Options for Infantile Hemangiomas?

Le résumé fourni par la source

In order to answer this question, it is essential to take a step back and review the indications for treating infantile hemangiomas (IHs). Not all hemangiomas require active intervention and it is important to remember that there is no single recipe or algorithm for treatment. Management of IH must be individualized. The type of treatment that will be used will depend upon many factors, including the indication for treatment, the presence or absence of systemic associations, the age of the patient, the stage of the hemangioma, and the size and location of the lesion. Many of these factors are interrelated. In most cases, the goal of treatment is to shrink or contain the growth of the IH particularly during the proliferating phase in order to reduce potential complications.
