title: Congenital subglotic haemingiomas.
abstract: Congenital subglottic haemingomas are rare however they are important treatable cause of infantile stridor and can be fatal unless treated. They present in a range of ways most noticeably with stridor in infancy period and as they enlarge they can threaten the airway. Thus they require urgent assessment and treatment. We present three cases of subglottic haemingiomas all of which represented different clinical management strategies. We review this interesting topic with discussion on presentation, treatment options and outcome.
