| Abstract |
Kasabach-Merritt syndrome represents the association of hemangioma with thrombocytopenia and consumptive coagulopathy. We present a case of Kasabach-Merritt syndrome treatment with orally administered propranolol. A 4.5-month-old caucasian female infant with congenital giant hemangioma in the posterior region of her neck presented to our Institute for Childhood Diseases where she underwent clinical, laboratory, and radiological investigations. A low blood platelet count indicated the use of corticosteroids and blood components as first-line therapy. The lack of therapeutic response induced the introduction of orally administered propranolol as additive therapy. A 3-week treatment led to a reduction in the size of hemangioma and a rise in platelet count which enabled surgical treatment and definite healing. Orally administered propranolol as monotherapy or in combination with other therapeutic modalities may play a key role in the treatment of Kasabach-Merritt syndrome. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 July 2018.
All research outputs
#14,381,804
of 23,031,582 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Medical Case Reports
#1,118
of 3,948 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#182,336
of 328,395 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Medical Case Reports
#19
of 66 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,031,582 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,948 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 328,395 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 41st percentile – i.e., 41% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 66 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its contemporaries.
