ABSTRACT

Incidence-10% of patients with cutaneous hemangiomas will have a subglottic hemangioma, which may or may not be symptomatic. Eighty percent of patients with a subglottic hemangioma will have a cutaneous hemangioma.

Presentation-usually presents during the first 68 weeks of life with the insidious onset of inspiratory or biphasic stridor during crying or feeding. A cutaneous hemangioma should raise the suspicion of a subglottic lesion.
