ABSTRACT
Treatment of subglottic hemangiomas in children has traditionally been characterized as a challenging situation with multiple therapeutic options without consensus as to which one is the best and with risks of severe side effects. Recent reports on the experience of propranolol use in the treatment of paediatric airway hemangiomas suggest favourable reasons for this use due to the rapid improvement and its lack of severe side effects. In this paper we report the experience with 6 children having symptomatic airway hemangiomas treated with propranolol. All children improved their respiratory symptoms dramatically and did not need additional interventions.
