Abstract
Background: Subglottic hemangioma, especially in the absence of an evident skin lesion is a very rare congenital abnormality. Beside this rarity, the diagnosis is very challenging and needs assessment with rigid bronchoscopy and Computed Tomography (CT) angiography.Case presentation: Here, we report the case of a 3-month-old boy with subglottic hemangioma, which was diagnosed after several visits and through several imaging procedures, including CT angiography and bronchoscopy visualization. Our case responded well to the medical treatment and was followed to find further regressions of the tumor.Conclusion: When an infant presents with biphasic stridor and barking coughs within the first few months of the child birth, the diagnosis of a subglottic hemangioma should be kept in mind along with other differentials.
