Deskripsi
Case report: The 22-month-old male and 15-day-old female patients presented with persistent stridor since birth. Tracheoscopy of the first patient revealed a 90% obstructing hemangioma in the subglottic area, while the second patient's CT scan showed a hemangioma at the subglottic level. Both patients were initiated on propranolol therapy. These cases highlight the significance of subglottic hemangioma as a treatable cause of stridor in infants and emphasize the importance of propranolol treatment.
