Propranolol in Capillary Hemangiomas

Summary

The investigators observed that Propranolol, a beta-blocker commonly used in children was efficient to control the growth of alarming hemangiomas of the face. The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficiency of 1 month-early treatment of propranolol in infants aged less than 4 months affected by an hemangioma without any consequences on vital or functional structure and not justifying corticosteroids. The secondary objectives are: * the kinetic of the hemangioma evolution in infants treated by propranolol * Observance * Safety
