متن کاملCongenital disorders of the larynx , trachea and bronchi
The true incidence of congenital deformities of the upper airway is not known for certain, but van den Broek and Brinkman (1979) quoted an incidence for congenital laryngeal defects of between 1:10.000 and 1:50.000 births. Of 219 children with stridor who underwent endoscopic examination, Holinger (1980) found 81% to have evidence of congenital abnormalities of the larynx, trachea or bronchi. O...
متن کاملCongenital Esophageal Stenosis Associated with Esophageal Atresia and Gasless Abdomen
SUMMARY A radiologically gasless abdomen in a neonate with EA is usually regarded as being pathognomonic of an absence of distal T.E.F. It has been estimated that up to 1.5% of patient with a distal fistula may have a radiologically gasless abdomens as a manifestation of a very small fistula plugged with mucus. In this case a contrast study via the gastrostomy demonstrated a fistula between th...
