What are subglottic hemangiomas?

Also known as: airway hemangiomas.

Hemangiomas are an abnormal growth formed of a cluster of small blood vessels, such as capillaries. They can occur all over the body, but when they form in the lower portion of the larynx, they can cause breathing problems and are known as subglottic hemangiomas.
