Propranolol (beta-blocker), is successfully used for the treatment of infantile hemangiomas, the most common vascular tumor of newborns. The mechanism is related to its anti-angiogenetic and pro-apoptotic effects. Recently, in vitro studies demonstrated that propranolol decreased the expression of target genes of the HIF (hypoxia-inducible factor, of which the VHL gene is the main regulator) pathway in hemangioblastoma cells and affected their viability. The efficacy of propranolol (stabilization of all HB and decrease in serum VEGF levels) was demonstrated in a phase III study, but only in retinal BHs . The only study that evaluated the effect of propranolol on CNS HB was retrospective and involved a limited number of patients. Nevertheless, it showed a decrease in the growth rate of HBs. The investigator therefore propose to carry out a randomized controlled trial to study the effect o
