Case Description

Propranolol a non-selective beta-blocker, remains the first line of treatment for problematic infantile hemangioma. However, although rarely, a subset of patients experience undesirable side effects, raising interest in other selective beta-blockers. We present a large case series of 46 infants treated successfully with oral atenolol, a selective beta-1 blocker. El propranolol, un betabloqueante no selectivo, sigue siendo la primera línea de tratamiento para el hemangioma infantil problemático. Sin embargo, aunque poco frecuente, un subgrupo de pacientes experimenta efectos secundarios indeseables, lo que despierta el interés sobre otros beta-bloqueantes selectivos. Presentamos una amplia serie de casos de 46 lactantes tratados con éxito con atenolol, un bloqueante selectivo beta 1.
