Shuddering Attacks in an Infant Treated with Atenolol for Infantile Hemangioma: A Previously Unreported Adverse Effect

Complicated infantile hemangiomas require treatment, often with oral beta-blockers. Atenolol, a selective beta-blocker with rare neurological side effects, is considered a safer alternative to propranolol. This article reports a case of shuddering attacks, occurring during atenolol therapy, highlighting a previously unreported potential medication-related adverse effect.

Abstract

Complicated infantile hemangiomas require treatment, often with oral beta-blockers. Atenolol, a selective beta-blocker with rare neurological side effects, is considered a safer alternative to propranolol. This article reports a case of shuddering attacks, occurring during atenolol therapy, highlighting a previously unreported potential medication-related adverse effect.
