Propanolol effective treatment for laryngo–thracheal hemangioma
Subglottic hemangiomas in children are uncommon. The condition is potentially life-threatening. There are different methods of treatment that often result in significant side effects or complications. During the past four years several reports on propranolol as a first-line treatment for hemangiomas requiring treatment has been published. We describe a three-month-old girl who presented with increasing respiratory problems and who was diagnosed with a subglottic hemangioma. She received monoterapy with propranolol. After a fast improvement the good response to treatment was confirmed in the following MRI control.
