  • Title: [Surgical treatment of subglottic angioma in infants. Technique and indications].
    Author: Triglia JM, Epron JP, Bouanga C, Cannoni M.
    Journal: Ann Otolaryngol Chir Cervicofac; 1993; 110(7):399-403. PubMed ID: 8085721.
    Abstract:
    Subglottic angiomas, frequently observed in new-borns, can have an unfavourable course due to laryngeal dyspnea. Although the natural course is towards spontaneous involution, different therapeutic approaches depend upon the lesion's sensitivity to corticotherapy. The authors report 24 cases of angioma observed over the last six years at the Hôpital d'Enfants de la Timone in Marseille, France. The relative importance of corticotherapy, intubation, laser and tracheotomy were analyzed and the role of surgical exeresis was analyzed with precision. Four observations were presented in detail. Based on the data in the literature, indications for this therapeutic method would be rather limited, but could offer rapid curative care without complications.
