ABSTRACT
To study peculiarities of clinical symptoms of laryngeal angiomas in children, 71 case histories for children with vascular tumor aged 27 days to 14 years have been analysed. The cases were divided into two groups by location of the tumor: group 1--with hemangioma located in the subvocal larynx (45 children admitted to hospital at the age of 27 days to 2 years); group 2--with laryngeal vascular tumor located in the vocal or supravocal larynx (26 children admitted to hospital at the age of 3 months to 14 years). It was established that the age of the first angioma symptoms and the symptoms manifestation depend on the tumor location. Subvocal hemangioma should be considered an independent nosological unit of the disease.

The treatment and follow-up data are available for 18 children (12 boys and 6 girls) with persistent scarry pharyngostenosis. The disease was first diagnosed at the age of 1 year 8 months to 12 years. Pharyngostenosis has resulted from burn induced by KMnO4 crystals. After treatment (laser destruction in 13 patients and bourginage in 4 patients) 15 patients resumed free breathing. 2 patients continue the treatment.
