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.

Keywords:

Resumen

El tratamiento del hemangioma subglótico infantil tradicionalmente se ha caracterizado por presentar multitud de técnicas terapéuticas, tanto médicas como quirúrgicas, sin existir consenso sobre cuál es la mejor opción y con la desventaja de potenciales efectos adversos muy severos. Trabajos recientes informan de mejorías sintomáticas significativas con el uso de propranolol en estos pacientes concluyendo que puede ser una alternativa eficaz a los tratamientos clásicos sin el inconveniente de tan graves efectos secundarios. Se presenta la experiencia de 6 casos de niños con hemangiomas sintomáticos de vía aérea tratados con propranolol. Todos ellos permanecieron asintomáticos respiratoriamente sin necesidad de tratamientos adicionales.
