Abstract
Recent experience indicates that the most accurate and least dangerous method of diagnosing subglottic hemangioma is soft tissue radiography of the neck. We suggest, that the radiologic appearance of subglottic hemangioma is pathognomonic in most cases in young infants. Multiple instrumentation under general anaesthesia be it for diagnostic or follow-up investigation, must be avoided. With conservative approach and in view of the benign natural history of this disease fewer infants should develop severe morbidity and mortality.
