Infantile Subglottic Hemangioma: A Case ReportInfantile Subglottic Hemangioma: A Case Report.

Subglottic hemangiomas are rare benign vascular tumors of infancy which involve the airway. It is a subtype of infantile hemangiomas and is a potentially life-threatening condition with a mortality rate of 50% if left untreated. Hence, early intervention in this condition is essential. Here we present a case of a 4-month-old infant, a male infant with a history of cough and noisy breathing requiring multiple hospital visits before eventually being diagnosed with subglottic hemangioma. Due to its similar presentation with other more common respiratory illnesses, the diagnosis can be missed. Oral propranolol is the first-line therapy, which was used successfully in our case.
