Abstract: Introduction. Laryngeal hemangioma is a rare and slowly progressing vascular tumor causing stridor or obstructive respiratory symptoms. Case report. We present an unexpected finding of laryngeal hemangioma in a 10-year-old boy with a severe general condition. Upon admission at our Department, he was immediately intubated. The next day, after extubation, his condition again deteriorated. Fiberbronchoscopy examination was performed; we confirmed a laryngeal hemangioma. Inadequate investigations and diagnosis of laryngeal hemangioma in early childhood cause a life-threatening condition. Conclusion. Regular and appropriate medical examinations are necessary for an adequate diagnosis. Early medical treatment is necessary to avoid more severe conditions and complications.
