Twenty-four children with cutaneous hemangiomas were treated with corticosteroids. The indications for therapy included interference with im portant bodily functions by the hemangioma, thrornbocytogenia related to the hemangioma, or serious cosmetic effects secondary to the hemangioma. Five children had no improvement, twelve had possible improvement, five had probable improvement and two had definite improvement while on cortico steroids. One child had growth retardation as a complication of corticosteroids; this was reversed when the medication was discontinued.
