In 107 (12.3%), 1 or more IHs were found. Female sex and being conceived by artificial reproductive techniques were the most prominent risk factors for the appearance of IHs, while small-for-gestation-age status at birth showed a borderline association with a higher incidence. Among the affected infants born at VLGA\/ELGA, 69.2% had a solitary IH, most commonly located on the trunk (41.4%). Complications were observed in 3.5% of patients. Topical or systemic beta-blocker therapy was administered in 16.8% of patients, with systemic propranolol causing adverse effects in only one infant.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We observed that the frequency of IHs in infants born at VLGA\/ELGA was 12.3%.
