Acquired idiopathic laryngomalacia treated by laser supraglottic laryngoplasty.
Laryngomalacia is the most common cause of stridor in neonates and infants, where the soft cartilages and tissues surrounding the upper larynx collapse inward during respiration. On the other hand, acquired idiopathic laryngomalacia in adults is quite rare, but should be borne in mind for differential diagnosis of upper airway distress. Allergic factors may cause airway distress, but have not b...
متن کاملAcquired laryngomalacia as a cause of obstructive sleep apnea.
We describe a patient who, 4 years after a radical neck dissection and radiotherapy, presented with obstructive sleep apnea; upon bronchoscopy, he was found to have acquired laryngomalacia. Inspiration induced upper airway obstruction due to a large flaccid epiglottis, large aryepiglottic folds, and edema of the supraglottic area. We suggest that acquired laryngomalacia can lead to obstructive ...
متن کاملWaardenburg syndrome associated with laryngomalacia.
Waardenburg syndrome (WS) is a rare autosomal dominant condition characterised by sensorineural hearing loss, in conjunction with pigmentary abnormalities and defects of the neural crest-derived tissues. Depending on the additional phenotypic characteristics, WS is classified into four types, viz. WS1, WS2, WS3 and WS4. We report a 45-day-old male infant with WS1, who presented with inspiratory...
متن کاملPrimary Presentations of Laryngomalacia.
IMPORTANCE Laryngomalacia (LM) classically presents with stridor in early infancy but can present atypically with snoring and/or sleep-disordered breathing (S-SDB) or swallowing dysfunction (SwD). The epidemiology of these atypical presentations has not been established in the literature. OBJECTIVE To document the primary modes of presentation for LM in a consecutive series of children and to...
متن کاملEndoscopic laser for severe laryngomalacia.
Stridor in the pediatric age group needs detailed evaluation. Laryngomalacia, the commonest cause of stridor is mostly benign, but in about 10% patients can be an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Laser surgical correction in patients with severe laryngomalacia gives good results. We evaluated 32 patients of stridor. All were screened with fibreoptic laryngoscopy and whenever indicate...
