Infantile subglottic hemangioma (SH) can cause biphasic stridor, respiratory distress and even life-threatening airway compromise. Treatment of SH in infants 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. Four infants with SH were treated with propranolol. Treatment with oral propranolol resulted in resolution of symptoms within 2 days, followed by complete recovery. Propranolol appears to be an effective treatment for SH and should be used as a first-line treatment for SH when intervention is required.

Objective: Infantile subglottic hemangioma (SGH) poses a risk of airway compromise if untreated. Traditionally, operative endoscopy (OH) diagnoses SGH, but since the discovery of beta-blockers' efficacy in treating infantile hemangiomas (IHs) in 2008, and advances in endoscopic technology, nonoperative methods have emerged. This review identifies endoscopic practices for diagnosing and monitoring infantile SGH during the oral beta-blocker treatment era.

Subglottic hemangiomas are uncommon forms of infantile vascular tumors often misdiagnosed due to symptom overlap with other conditions like laryngomalacia, bronchiolitis, and asthma. Early and accurate diagnosis is vital for effective management. This case report discusses a unique presentation of subglottic hemangioma in a three-month-old infant, highlighting its diagnostic challenge and management.

The epidemiological landscape of infantile hemangioma (IH) has been extensively explored through diverse data sources; however, a scarcity of systematically pooled and quantified evidence from comprehensive global studies persists. In this meta-analysis, we systematically review available literature to elucidate the prevalence, distribution of lesions, complications, and risk factors associated with IH. A meticulous search encompassing the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science identified 3206 records, of which 55 studies met the inclusion criteria.

Infantile hemangiomas are relatively common soft tissue tumors in infants and young children, with a prevalence of about 4.5% in full-term newborns. Subglottic Hemangioma （SGH） is a relatively rare type of hemangioma, and its special location often causes respiratory distress and potentially life-threatening conditions in infants.
