Abstract
Infantile haemangiomas (IHs) are benign tumours in infancy. Most patients suffering from IHs do not require treatment. However, if there is a dramatic aesthetic or functional impairment, treatment is needed. Currently the most promising therapy for complicated IHs is the oral administration of propranolol, but its mechanism is unclear.
