Abstract
Infantile Haemangioma (IH) is the most frequent benign vascular tumor of infancy, with an incidence of 23% in preterm infants, 2-3% in neonates and 10% after 1 year. Active treatment is indicated when large size or specific areas are involved, to prevent complications like ulceration, bleeding, infection and to diminish the potential scar. Ulceration is the most common complication and occurs in 16% or IH. There are very few reports concerning treatment of IH in preterm infants, although it’s higher incidence at this age. Topical timolol has recently been reported to be an effective and safe treatment for superficial infantile haemangioma.
