Abstract

The aim of this study was to define the skin patterns at high risk for upper airway infantile haemangioma. A retrospective multicentre French observational study was conducted between January 2006 and January 2015 and all confirmed airway haemangioma were included. Thirty-eight patients with airway haemangioma from 9 centres were included. Thirty-one patients had a cutaneous or mucosal haemangioma: 21 with a location considered at high risk for airway haemangioma (large segmental mandibular haemangioma), 4 with a very mild facial involvement (lower lip or S1 (frontotemporal segment according to Haggstrom and Frieden)) and 6 with either lesions of the neck or body, or association of both. We report here the largest cohort of airway haemangioma. A third of patients do not completely fit with the definition of the high-risk area of airway haemangioma. Segmental lower lip and neck involvement also seem to be very suggestive areas. Clinicians must be able to recognize these areas.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
