“…3 Patients are mostly female, sometimes have associated cutaneous hemangiomas, [1][2][3] are frequently misdiagnosed with necrotizing enterocolitis or cow milk protein sensitivity, 1 and occasionally undergo laparotomy for diagnostic purposes. 1,4 Highresolution ultrasound examination with Doppler, considered to be the least invasive radiographic modality, confirmed computed tomography angiography findings in this infant (Figure). 1 Propranolol is the suggested first line therapy.…”

“…Presently, oral propranolol may be considered as first-line treatment in infantile hemangiomas [ 18 ]. Propranolol is also used commonly with corticosteroids in treatment of gastrointestinal hemangiomas [ 2 7 9 ]. However, few studies have reported treatment of gastric hemangiomas with methods other than surgical intervention, and these cases are usually with multiple lesions in which surgical options are limited.…”
