title: Current management of infantile hemangiomas and their common associated conditions.
abstract: This article reviews the most current practice guidelines in the diagnosis and treatment of infantile hemangiomas. Several systemic conditions that can be associated with hemangiomas, such as PHACES syndrome, are also discussed. Propranolol has become an effective first-line treatment, and protocols for its use as well as its potential risks are outlined.
