MORENO ALFONSO, JC et al. Cranio-facial-cervical and subglottic hemangioma with respiratory symptoms. A therapeutic emergency. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2021, vol.44, n.1, pp.113-117. Epub 21-Jun-2021. ISSN 1137-6627. https://dx.doi.org/10.23938/assn.0929.
We describe the case of a 41-day-old infant with a left craniofacial cervical and subglottic hemangioma with respiratory symptoms. Although infantile hemangiomas are occasional benign vascular tumors that appear predominantly on the skin, 1-2% of patients may have airway lesions that can sometimes cause potentially life-threatening respiratory conditions. The decision was made to immediately commence treatment with propranolol, without waiting to complete the extension and syndromic diagnoses. There was a positive clinical response and respiratory symptoms dissipated in twelve hours. Early treatment with beta-blockers is essential for children with hemangiomas whose location causes symptoms or significant functional changes: in some cases it may be a matter of urgency.
