    Author: Celiksoy MH, Paksu MS, Atmaca S, Sancak R, Hancioglu G.
    Journal: Am J Otolaryngol; 2014; 35(3):414-6. PubMed ID: 24602457.
    Abstract:
    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.
