ABSTRACT
Capillary hemangiomas are one of the most common benign orbital and eyelid childhood tumors. Many of these tumors do
not require treatment because they regress spontaneously without leaving sequelae; however, treatment is necessary in many
cases, such as amblyogenic or eye-threatening lesions. Treatment of this kind of lesions has evolved from surgical excision
to laser and steroids, all of them successful in different ways and with a range of side effects. In the last few years treatment
has been revolutionized due to a casual finding made by Leaute-Labreze et al. Nowadays we use beta-blockers that have
proved to be highly effective and with a much safer profile than previously used drugs. Several case reports have shown
success by treating these lesions with topical beta-blockers. With this safer and more effective treatment, we can currently treat this lesions that in the past were just kept under observation, diminishing the cosmetic sequelae and the social stigma
of patients having such lesions in their facial area.
