Infantile subglottic hemangioma.
Journal of Otolaryngology 1994 April
Infantile subglottic hemangiomas are rare congenital lesions of the larynx that are difficult to manage. Our experience with 10 cases was reviewed. All patients presented with stridor at birth, or shortly after. The minimum follow-up was 6 months, with an average of 44 months. The patients were classified and treated according to the size of the hemangioma. The treatment included expectant management, systemic steroids, CO2 laser excision, and tracheostomies. Overall, eight patients were cured, one developed subglottic stenosis, and one died due to unrelated causes. We recommend that (1) patients with small lesions (< 25% of lumen) be treated expectantly, (2) patients with moderate lesions (25-60% of lumen) be treated with systemic steroids initially, and CO2 laser excision if steroids fail, and (3) patients with large lesions (> 60% of lumen) be treated with tracheostomies initially, and staged CO2 laser excision.
