Infantile haemangioma (IH) is the most common tumour during early childhood. Although these benign lesions resolve spontaneously, up until recently laryngotracheal sites of IH required invasive management. The dramatic efficacy of β-blockers on IH has radically changed the prognosis. Surgery is now no longer indicated as first-line therapy, but should only be performed for difficult, refractory cases, or in the presence of absolute contraindications to β-blockers. Long-term steroid therapy is also no longer indicated...

OBJECTIVE: To study the effectiveness of propranolol in infantile airway haemangiomas and compare the effectiveness of propranolol vs. different therapies. METHODS: A literature search of Ovid, Embase, the Cochrane database, Google™ Scholar, and Medline using PubMed as the search engine was performed to identify studies that analysed the effect of propranolol treatment in children with airway haemangiomas. Random-effect meta-analytical techniques were conducted for the outcome measures...

Infantile subglottic hemangioma is a pediatric tumor of endothelial cells characterized by an initial phase of rapid proliferation (around 6 months), followed by slow involution, often leading to complete regression following the first year of life. It is most frequently found in females and it usually it occurs also in the skin. From its position it can cause a progressive airway obstruction, so early diagnosis and treatment are very important. Many treatments have been described in the literature, including systemic steroids, intralesional steroid injection, carbon dioxide laser therapy, submucous resection, interferon alfa-2 and also tracheostomy as last approach...

OBJECTIVE: To report our experience of using propranolol to treat an infantile airway haemangioma. METHODS: A five-week-old girl presented with upper airway obstruction. Having started systemic steroids, concurrent propranolol therapy was commenced. Propranolol was given with close monitoring of the blood pressure, pulse and capillary glucose level. The dose of propranolol was gradually increased to 2 mg/kg total daily dose, with simultaneous reduction and withdrawal of steroids...

Subglottic haemangioma is a rare but potentially life threatening condition which requires intervention. Many different treatments have been described with varying degrees of success and complications. Recently, successful treatment with propranolol has been reported in 11 cases of cutaneous haemangiomas and then in two cases of subglottic haemangiomas with extensive cutaneous lesions in conjunction with other treatment modalities. We describe the successful treatment with propranolol, of a stridulous four-month-old child with a 95% obstructing subglottic haemangioma...

We present two cases of autopsy detection of laryngeal masses with medico-legal implications. The first is a 56-year-old man who died suddenly of asphyxia due to upper airway obstruction caused by a large glosso-epiglottic retention cyst and glottic oedema. Hypothesis of medical liability was raised, due to delayed tracheotomy as the result of repeated failed attempts at oral intubation by various physicians. Difficult oral intubation due to the presence of a laryngeal mass in an asphyxiating subject requires rapid tracheotomy...

Subglottic haemangioma is a potentially life-threatening condition for which various treatment modalities are available. The objective of this study was to evaluate our results for open excision of subglottic haemangioma. The study assessed 18 patients who had been treated at a paediatric tertiary referral centre. Most of these patients (83.3 per cent) had undergone open surgical excision without post-operative tracheostomy and had been intubated for several days post-operatively (single-stage procedure). In most of these patients (66...

BACKGROUND: Positive immunohistochemical staining for glucose transporter-1 protein (GLUT1) is a characteristic of cutaneous infantile haemangiomas. OBJECTIVES: To examine GLUT1 expression in subglottic haemangiomas. METHODS: Review of clinical notes and biopsy tissue with immunostaining for GLUT1 in 14 patients with subglottic haemangiomas. RESULTS: GLUT1 immunostaining was negative in 11 cases, and focally positive in three...

The commonest subglottic mass in infants is a congenital haemangioma, which is usually managed conservatively without a histological diagnosis. Ectopic cervical thymus is rare and usually presents as a cervical mass, with only one case of subglottic ectopic thymus reported to date. Due to its rarity, the diagnosis in most cases relies on surgical excision and histological examination. However, histological diagnosis may not always be easily reached, as is demonstrated in this case report. In this article, an infant with congenital stridor secondary to a subglottic mass is described and the clinical and diagnostic difficulties in its management are discussed...

Nd:YAG laser is widely used in surgery as well as in otolaryngology and head and neck surgery for 25 years. This type of laser is characterized by low absorption in water and haemoglobin, deep penetration to the tissue and high ability for vessels coagulation. The laser light can be guided with glassfiber and can be focussed with handpices and micromanipulators. These characteristics make Nd:YAG laser very useful surgical instrument, especially in ORL and head and neck surgery. One institution's experiences, based on 300 operations with Nd:YAG laser are presented and discussed...

REVIEW
F El Hammar-Vergnes, A M Cros
High frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) is an alternative ventilatory mode during anaesthesia for laryngeal microsurgery. This procedure ensures good visualization of the operating field but is not without risk. Thus, its use in paediatric patients requires sound knowledge of respiratory physiology of children and infants. In children up to 8 years, the jet ventilator adjustments must take into account the lower pulmonary compliance and the higher airway resistance (time-constant). In order to avoid barotrauma, which is the main HFJV complication, the jet ventilator has to include a monitoring airway pressure system...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the incidence and indications for paediatric tracheostomy in this unit have changed over recent years. METHODS: All paediatric tracheostomies performed between 1993 and 2001 were identified from our departmental database. The indications for these were ascertained by retrospective case note review. RESULTS: Over the 9-year period studied 362 tracheostomies were performed, the number increased slightly between the first and second half of the period, with peaks in 1997 and 1999...

Two appearances are outstanding in this case report. First is the clinical picture of chronic laryngeal stridor of a child due to an acquired haemangioma. And that the anatomopathologic subtype of angioma is a pyogenic granuloma noteworthy, as we shall see, the use of the term "pyogenic granuloma" based only on anatomopathological findings in order to circumscribe this lesion.
