However, in adults, cavernous haemangioma of the vocal cord(s) is an extremely rare condition \u2013 with this being the only published adult case presenting with acute respiratory distress \u2013 the mainstay of treatment is surgical excision under microlaryngoscopy. Presentation in adults can be unpredictable, but primarily consists of hoarseness which can be associated with, dyspnoea, dysphagia, and haemoptysis \u2013 and in one documented case stenosis of the aero-digestive tract led to death. Due to these airway difficulties, surgery can often prove challenging. In this study, we explore the unusual case of a previously well 71-year-old gentleman presenting to the Emergency Department, with worsening shortness of breath as his primary complaint. Uniquely, in this case, an awake fibre-optic intubation was undertaken to manage the difficult airway and a microlaryngoscopy was performed. A 20x10x15 mm lesion was excised, which had characteristics in keeping with a cavernous haemangioma on microscopic examination.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Altmetrics:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"altmetric-embed\" data-badge-details=\"right\" data-badge-type=\"medium-donut\" data-pmid=\"32306741\" data-hide-no-mentions=\"true\"><\/div>\n<p><script type='text\/javascript' src='https:\/\/d1bxh8uas1mnw7.cloudfront.net\/assets\/embed.js'><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Type of publication: Journal article Author(s): *Rafie, A; Jolly, K; Darr, A; *Thompson, S Citation: Annals of the Royal College of Surgeons of England; Sep 2020; vol. 102 (no. 7); p. e152 Abstract: Laryngeal haemangiomas can commonly be seen in<span class=\"ellipsis\">&hellip;<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"read-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/2020\/06\/29\/adult-cavernous-haemangioma-of-the-vocal-cords-with-a-unique-presentation-of-acute-respiratory-distress-a-case-report-2020\/\">Read more <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Adult cavernous haemangioma of the vocal cords with a unique presentation of acute respiratory distress: a case report (2020)<\/span><span class=\"meta-nav\"> &#8250;<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p><!-- end of .read-more --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[200],"tags":[917,945],"class_list":["post-6049","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-staff-publication","tag-917","tag-haemangioma"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6049","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6049"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6049\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6192,"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6049\/revisions\/6192"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6049"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6049"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.library.sath.nhs.uk\/research\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6049"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
