Özet

Subglottic hemangioma is a rare but life- threatening condition which requires intervention. It generally starts proliferating in the first and second months of lifespan and whether there is a respiration problem or not, it causes biphasic stridor. Its diagnosis generally requires direct laryngoscopy or direct screening through bronchoscopy. This case report presents a 45-day-old girl who had subglottic hemangioma presenting with wheezing and stridor. Our case took propranolol with a dose of 2 mg/kg/day and within 48 h after the start of the treatment, obstructive symptoms started to alleviate considerably. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc.
