title: Mediastinal haemangiomas in children.
abstract: A 5-month-old girl presented with upper airway obstruction and was found to have a mediastinal mass compressing the trachea. She successfully underwent resection of this mass, later confirmed to be a juvenile haemangioma. This case highlights mediastinal haemangiomas in the paediatric population as a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge, and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in the management of such patients.
