Missing Dots can be Fatal: A Case of Adult Vocal Cord Haemangioma in Respiratory Distress with Long Standing Change in Voice
摘要
Adult Laryngeal hemangiomas are rare with few cases reported in the literature. We report an unusual case of 31-year-old female with adult laryngeal hemangioma who presented with acute respiratory distress over underlying long-standing change in voice and difficulty breathing. Patient stabilization followed by thorough evaluation and prompt intervention by tracheostomy and micro-laryngeal surgery for excision and subsequent immediate post-operative tracheostomy decannulation was done. The patient was followed up for 6 months with fibreoptic examination showing normal vocal cords and near normal voice.
