Abstract
Tracheal paragangliomas are exceptionally rare, with 12 reported cases. This is the only pediatric case reported. In pediatric patients with persistent airway complaints, subglottic and tracheal masses and obstruction should be considered. Due to the vascularity and endotracheal component of tracheal paragangliomas, a detailed surgical plan should consider embolization, endotracheal laser photocoagulation and electrocautery, and open surgical resection. Additionally, pediatric patients benefit from a multidisciplinary approach including radiology, endocrinology, and genetic counseling.
