Abstract

A subglottic hemangioma (SGH) is a benign tumor of infancy that can cause severe obstruction of the airway. Infantile hemangiomas, in general, are the most common head and neck tumor in children, affecting 4-5% of the pediatric population. This retrospective cohort study characterizes subglottic infantile hemangiomas at a single vascular anomaly center over a 5-year period (2013-2017) during the era of propranolol treatment. Queried the Vascular Anomaly Database at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh for all infantile hemangioma(s) and then identified case of subglottic hemangiomas. Characterized key features of presentation, natural history and management for subglottic hemangiomas. A secondary differentiation focused on differences between subglottic hemangiomas associated with Beard Distribution (BD) vs not (NBD). Analysis of 761 cases of infantile hemangiomas demonstrated only 13 patients with subglottic hemangiomas (1.7%). Of those 13 patients, only 4 patients (30%) had BD while 2 patients (15%) had other cutaneous hemangiomas and 7 patients (55%) had no cutaneous hemangiomas. Secondarily, a total of 31 case of beard distribution cutaneous hemangiomas with 11 patients having oropharyngeal involvement (35%) but only 4 patient...Continue Reading
