he most common tumors of infancy and early childhood are hemangio-

mas, 60% arise in head and neck. Hemangiomas are sub-divided into two

categories based on their clinical behavior and histology to infantile heman-

gioma and congenital hemangioma. The symptoms of hemangioma include

stridor and recurrent croup. The more accurate investigation is by MRI. The

management of hemangioma include observation, medical (Propranolol and

steroid) and surgical. Propranolol is the new treatment for hemangioma with

good results. There are some indications and contraindications for usage of

propranolol. Hypoglycemia may be the most common serious complication in

children treated with propranolol for hemangioma. The most common com-

plications of hemangioma are ulceration occurring in upto 13% of lesions.
