Subglottic haemangioma: two infants with laryngeal stridor.
The literature contains records of 18 infants with stridor due to haemangiomata in or just below the larynx. Two of these were reported by Mr. James Crooks in this Journal (Crooks, 1954). Since then he has had three further cases at The Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street, and I am indebted to him for permission to publish details of two of them, bringing the total number of cases r...
متن کاملNon-inflammatory laryngeal stridor in infants.

متن کاملAdult laryngeal haemangioma; a rare entity.
Laryngeal haemangioma is commonly seen in children. Adult laryngeal haemangiomas are rare and usually involve the supraglottic region. Most common symptom includes dysphagia, dysphonia and shortness of breath. Detailed history, fiberoptic laryngoscopy and computerized scanning may suggest benign nature of the lesion but diagnosis is only confirmed by a biopsy. In comparison to infantile haemang...
