[[Translated article]]Update of the Spanish Consensus Document on Infantile Hemangioma.

Abstract

This document updates the 2016 Spanish consensus on infantile hemangioma (IH) based on the currently existing scientific medical literature and the experience of a panel of experts. IH is the most frequent pediatric vascular tumor, is often diagnosed clinically, and usually resolves spontaneously. However, in 10%-15% of cases it results in severe complications. Data show that early intervention and long-term treatment improves outcomes, underscoring the need for clear clinical practice guidelines on the management of patients with IH. This update highlights the usefulness of the IHReS scale for IH patient referral, the importance of telemedicine implementation for IH patient care, the safety of beta-blocker therapy, and the extension of propranolol regimens up to 24 months.
