Abstract

We report a 3-months-old infant with recurrent life-threatening dyspnea, in whom subglottic hemangioma (SGH) was initially misdiagnosed as pneumonia with suspicion of laryngomalacia, and then acquired subglottic stenosis due to intubation. Biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of SGH while enhanced CT scan showed a circumferential SGH. Severe respiratory distress was successfully treated with endoscopic excision and then propranolol.
