Successful Treatment of Orbital Hemangioma with Propranolol in a 5-Year-Old Girl

Abstract

We report a 5-year-old girl, who presented with proptosis due to an orbital capillary hemangioma. After 8 months of treatment with oral propranolol at a dose of 2 mg/kg/day, the mass reduced significantly in size and regrowth was not observed within 20 months of follow-up.
