Abstract

Subglottic haemangioma (SGH) is the rare condition of an infantile haemangioma in the subglottic space. The diagnostics is complicated due to the clinical symptoms mimicking pseudocroup, and difficulties in visualization of the subglottic space. A two-month-old girl with a cycle of repeated hospitalizations due to recurrent and progressive croupal cough and stridor was diagnosed with SGH by laryngoscopy and initiated propranolol treatment with effect after 48 hours. SGH is rare but should be kept in mind in infants with recurrent croupal cough and stridor.
