Beta-blockers for the topical or systemic application are the first-line treatment with clinical efficacy reaching 86.2–97.4%. If the hemangioma is resistant to β-blocker therapy, hormonal solutions (Triamcinolone, Betamethasone) are used for sclerotherapy.</p> <p>In the presented publication, the authors describe an alternative modality for treating infantile hemangiomas, which can be used in case of low effectiveness of beta-blockers, especially when the tumor is located in critically important areas (eye orbit, areas of nose, auricle, lips). In the article, the authors describe clinical cases of infantile orbital hemangioma in children when Propranolol therapy was not effective: patients received β-blocker therapy, but there was no any reduction in hemangioma size. An intralesional injection of Betamethasone solution into hemangiomas was made to patients in the Russian Children's Hospital. Outcomes were positive: formation size significantly reduced which was confirmed by findings of ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, including color Doppler mapping.</p> <p>Betamethasone solution for intralesional sclerotherapy, as the second line therapy, in infantile hemangiomas can be used in case of low clinical efficacy of β-blockers. Hormonal therapy prevents hemangioma growth and accelerates involution. Further researches on the application of intralesional administration of glucocorticoid hormones as a sclerosing agent for treating β-blocker-resistant infantile hemangiomas and on determining indications for this treatment modality are required.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Младенческая гемангиома ― доброкачественная сосудистая опухоль, которая встречается в 5–10% случаев в детской популяции. Бета-блокаторы в виде местного или системного лечения являются препаратами первой линии, их клиническая эффективность достигает 86,2–97,4%. В случае резистентной к терапии β-блокаторами гемангиомы используются растворы гормонов (триамцинолон, бетаметазон) для проведения склеротерапии.</p> <p>В представленной публикации авторы знакомят практикующих врачей с альтернативным методом лечения младенческой гемангиомы, который может быть использован в случае низкой эффективности β-блокаторов, особенно при расположении опухоли в критически важных зонах (область орбиты глаза, носа, ушной раковины, губ). В приведённых клинических наблюдениях описаны пациенты с младенческой гемангиомой орбиты глаза, резистентной к терапии пропранололом: на фоне терапии β-блокатором уменьшения размеров образования не отмечено. На базе Российской детской клинической больницы детям проведено внутриочаговое введение раствора бетаметазона в гемангиому с положительным результатом: размеры образования существенно уменьшились, что подтверждалось результатами ультразвукового исследования и магнитно-резонансной томографии, в том числе в режиме цветового допплеровского картирования.</p> <p>В случае низкой клинической эффективности β-блокатора для лечения младенческой гемангиомы в качестве второй линии терапии рассматривается внутриочаговая склеротерапия раствором бетаметазона. Введение гормонов позволяет остановить рост гемангиомы и ускорить инволюцию. Необходимо дальнейшее изучение внутриочагового введения глюкокортикоидных гормонов в качестве склерозирующего агента для лечения резистентных к β-блокаторам младенческих гемангиом и определение показаний к использованию этого метода лечения.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>infantile hemangioma</kwd><kwd>sclerotherapy</kwd><kwd>Betamethasone</kwd><kwd>clinical case</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>младенческая гемангиома</kwd><kwd>склеротерапия</kwd><kwd>бетаметазон</kwd><kwd>клинический случай</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Fu R, Zou Y, Wu Z, et al.
