Abstract
Introduction. Laryngeal hemangioma is a rare and
slowly progressing vascular tumor causing stridor or
obstructive respiratory symptoms.
Case report. We present an unexpected finding of
laryngeal hemangioma in a 10-year-old boy with a severe general condition. Upon admission at our Department, he was immediately intubated. The next day, after
extubation, his condition again deteriorated. Fiberbronchoscopy examination was performed; we confirmed a laryngeal hemangioma. Inadequate investigations
and diagnosis of laryngeal hemangioma in early childhood cause a life-threatening condition.
Conclusion. Regular and appropriate medical examinations are necessary for an adequate diagnosis. Early
medical treatment is necessary to avoid more severe
conditions and complications.
