subglottic hemangiomas are very rare in compare with cutaneous form but can be life-threatening in the proliferating phase of tumor by airway obstruction. it should be considered in any child with recurrent, persistent and/or progressive, inspiratory or biphasic stridor, respiratory distress and feeding difficulties in the first months of life. it should be confirmed by endobronchoscopic evalua...

Stridor is a serious complication of congenital neuraxial anomalies, which though, can get completely resolved with early neurosurgical correction of the anomaly. However, stridor relief may or may not be achieved soon after surgery. Persistent postoperative stridor can potentially cause extubation failure that may be difficult to handle in small children. There are no extubation guidelines for...

A 9-month-old boy presented with a 1-day history of fever and croupy cough. He had been diagnosed with laryngomalacia at 4 months of age and treated for recurrent croup and bronchiolitis. He was <0.4th centile for weight. He had marked biphasic stridor in all positions along with tachypnoea. He showed some initial improvement with bronchodilators, steroids and antibiotics for suspected pneumoni...

Stridor is the sound caused by abnormal air passage into the lungs and can exist in different degrees and be caused by obstruction located anywhere in the extra-thoracic (nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea) or intra-thoracic airway (tracheobronchial tree). Stridor may be congenital or acquired, acute, intermittent or chronic. Laryngotracheal inflammation (croup) is the most common cause of acute st...

Stridor is a noise caused by the passage of turbulent air through a diminished airway caliber. Laryngomalacia is the most common congenital anomaly of the larynx and the principal cause of stridor in children under 6 months. A less common etiology of stridor and respiratory distress in newborns and infants is congenital laryngeal saccular cyst. This entity should be considered in the differenti...

Introduction: Stridor is an Abnormal, Harsh, High Pitched Inspiratory Sound Produced by Turbulent Airflow Through Partially Obstructed Airway of the Laryngeal area of the Extrathoracic Trachea. Croup & Laaryngomalacia Are the Most Common Infectious & Congenital Etiology of Stridor Respectively Aim: Non Infectious Causes of Stridor in Pediatric age group (0-12 years) in our Institute Materials a...

Abstract Introduction Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) affects the larynx in 13-75% of cases and is usually subclinical. Airway obstruction due to vocal cord fixation occurs late RA presents as an inspiratory stridor. Case presentation An 85-year-old woman presented A&amp;E Resus with tachypnoea, stridor drowsiness. ABG showed hypercapnic respiratory failure. A flexible nasendoscopy was performed whic...

Stridor is a medium pitched respiratory noise caused by partial obstruction of the large airways at the level of the pharynx, larynx, and/or trachea (usually the extrathoracic trachea). Stridor is characteristically heard on inspiration, but can be expiratory or biphasic if the obstructive lesion is more distal. Understanding its causes and being aware of the indications and limitations of the ...

Although stridor is a common respiratory symptom associated with upper respiratory diseases, yet its relation with hypocalcemia is not widely appreciated. The mechanism of hypocalcemia in causing stridor might be a collapsing of larynx most likely caused by decalcifi cation due to hypocalcemia. Vitamin D defi ciency causes a reduction in serum calcium, which stimulates the production of extra P...
