Effect of propranolol vs prednisolone vs propranolol with prednisolone in the management of infantile hemangioma: a randomized controlled study
Abstract Aims and Objectives The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of orally
administered propranolol versus prednisolone versus both in the treatment of potentially
disfiguring or functionally threatening infantile hemangiomas. Material and Methods A
prospective study of 30 patients aged 1 week–8 months was randomized into three equal
