Megadose Methylprednisolone (MDMP) for Hemangiomatosis

Journal Title: Turkish Journal of Hematology - Year 2012, Vol 29, Issue 4

Abstract

To the Editor, Dr. Küpeli and his colleagues[1] should be congratulated for their success in treating hemangiomatosis, which could be life threatining depending on the localization of hemangiomas, with propranolol. I prefer the term infantile hemangiomatosis instead of segmental hemangiomatosis[2] for the authors’ patient. My primary reason in writing this letter is to clarify MDMP treatment, which caused severe cushingoid appearance in the patient prior to propranolol treatment.
