We describe a rare case of a postcricoid infantile hemangioma (IH) and treatment with propranolol. A newborn female was found to have a large, postcricoid submucosal mass. The patient was brought to the operating theater for endoscopy and biopsy. The histopathology and GLUT-1 immunoreactivity confirmed the diagnosis of IH. The lesion was treated with direct injection of triamcinolone (40 mg/ml) and systemic propranolol therapy. The patient responded well, and her symptoms resolved quickly. Propanolol provides a promising therapy as a first line treatment to avoid surgery, tracheostomy, and prolonged use of steroids.
