[Treatment of laryngeal hemangiomas in children].
Based on 3 observations of our own and a survey of 171 cases reported in the literature, the clinical, diagnostical and therapeutical aspects of subglottic haemangioma in infants are presented. By obstructing subglottic air passage these tumours can threaten life and often require tracheostomy. Mortality rate reported in literature is still high (19%). Because of their spontaneous regression capillary subglottic haemangiomas do not require further active treatment.
