Laryngotracheal angioma is a rare vascular tumor that affects the larynx and trachea. It is a benign tumor that is composed of abnormal blood vessels and can cause a variety of symptoms, including difficulty breathing, hoarseness, and coughing. Treatment typically involves surgical removal of the tumor, and in some cases, radiation therapy may be used.

The most common symptom of laryngotracheal angioma is a hoarse voice. Other symptoms may include difficulty breathing, coughing, wheezing, and stridor (a high-pitched sound when breathing). In some cases, the angioma may cause recurrent infections of the throat and airways.

Laryngotracheal angioma is a rare vascular malformation of the larynx and trachea. The exact cause of this condition is unknown, however, it is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Genetic factors may include mutations in certain genes, such as the TGFBR2 gene, which is involved in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. Environmental factors may include exposure to certain chemicals or radiation.

The treatment for laryngotracheal angioma depends on the size and location of the tumor. Treatment options may include:

1. Surgery: Surgery is the most common treatment for laryngotracheal angioma. The goal of surgery is to remove the tumor and preserve as much of the normal tissue as possible.

2. Radiation therapy: Radiation therapy may be used to shrink the tumor before or after surgery.

3. Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy may be used to shrink the tumor before or after surgery.

4. Laser therapy: Laser therapy may be used to shrink the tumor before or after surgery.

5. Endoscopic laser ablation: Endoscopic laser ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a laser to destroy the tumor.

6. Photodynamic therapy: Phot

1. Family history of laryngotracheal angioma
2. Exposure to radiation
3. Congenital heart defects
4. Genetic syndromes such as neurofibromatosis type 1
5. Premature birth
6. Low birth weight
7. Exposure to certain medications during pregnancy

There is no cure for laryngotracheal angioma, but there are medications that can help manage the symptoms. These include corticosteroids, anti-inflammatory medications, and antibiotics. Surgery may also be recommended to remove the tumor or to open up the airway.
