Abstract
Subglottic hemangioma is a very rare infantile form of hemangioma as compared to cutaneous hemangioma but if left undiagnosed or untreated can be life-threatening. Here we report one case of preterm who presented with sudden onset of inspiratory stridor and respiratory distress in OPD in a previously normal child. The patient was initially misdiagnosed as croup which did not improve after nebulized adrenaline and steroids later on direct laryngobrochoscopy showed subglottic stenosis. A CT scan was done later which revealed subglottic hemangioma which showed complete remission in symptoms after starting oral propranolol. A careful approach towards diagnosing and managing the sudden onset of stridor with probable structural cause is necessary for a favorable outcome.
