Abstract
A 3-month-old infant was administered high-dose systemic prednisolone for management of a hemangioma of the nasal sidewall. After 10 weeks of therapy, medical evaluation of weight loss disclosed hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy. After discontinuation of the steroid, the cardiomyopathy resolved.
