4 Most congenital webs present at birth or in the first few months of life. [pjohns.pso-hns.org]

Clinical presentations of laryngeal webs vary from case to case. Patients may be asymptomatic and may present as unanticipated cases of difficult intubation [1] [4] [5]. [scirp.org]

A grade-2 subglottic stenosis was also present and the trachea was normal. Table 2 Symptoms present in the newborn period and sequelae in the patient born with VACTERALs. [entokey.com]

We are presenting our experience in managing two such patients with severe congenital glottic web. Diagnosis was confirmed by fibreoptic laryngoscopy under monitored anaesthetic care. [casereports.bmj.com]

On Admission POA Help "Present On Admission" is defined as present at the time the order for inpatient admission occurs — conditions that develop during an outpatient encounter, including emergency department, observation, or outpatient surgery, are [icd10data.com]

• Fishing

  All congenital glottic webs should be tested by FISH. CT Neck with thin slices should be considered before open airway intervention to assess craniocaudal extension. [medicine.uiowa.edu]

  However, genetic testing using the FISH method did not confirm this diagnosis in our patient. Additionally, we considered the possibility of CHARGE syndrome or VACTERL/VATER. [karger.com]

• Plethora

  Over the past several years, a plethora of reports have documented dramatic results achieved with the use of this agent,2424. Truong MT, Chang KW, Berk DR, Heerema-McKenney A, Bruckner AL. [scielo.br]

• Recurrent Upper Respiratory Infection

  Mild SGS may manifest in recurrent upper respiratory infections in which minimal subglottic swelling precipitates airway obstruction. In a young child, the greatest obstruction is usually 2–3 mm below the true vocal folds. [scielo.br]

Diagnosis is made on direct visualisation and consideration for genetic analysis and cardiac workup should be made given the high association with congenital anterior glottis webs, Endoscopic surgical division should be reserved for low grade webs and [theajo.com]

Management and treatment The primary goals of management for congenital laryngeal web are to provide a patent airway and to achieve a good voice quality. [orpha.net]

Asymptomatic patients do not require treatment; others are managed by surgical division. Extensive webs may even require laryngeal reconstruction [3]. [scirp.org]

(Lawlor 2020) TREATMENT A wide variety of surgical techniques have been described. Surgical decision making depends on surgeon experience and comfort. [medicine.uiowa.edu]

After assessing the severity of the web a laryngofissure, resection of the web and placement of a keel has been the accepted form of treatment first appearing in 1950 and championed by Montgomery in 1970 in those cases requiring intervention. [entokey.com]

™It is important to detect associated anomalies of the larynx, the respiratory tract, and other organ systems. ™ Treatment Treatment of laryngeal webs depends on the thickness of the web. Approximately 60% of patients require surgical intervention. [jewelautismcentre.com]

Overall prognosis was good. Patients consent was taken for publishing this case report. 3. Discussion Laryngeal web is a very rare clinical entity. [scirp.org]

Long-Term Outlook Prognosis is good with a normal lifespan. The only noticeable long-term symptoms may be a hoarse or rough voice. [cincinnatichildrens.org]

Treatment and prognosis If symptomatic referral to an ENT surgeon for possible resection. Treatment can include various interventions via bronchoscopy, e.g. [radiopaedia.org]

Accurate identification of the lesion led to prompt choice of therapy, favorable prognosis, and ultimately patient survival free of respiratory complications. REFERENCES [1] Alvarez Garrido C, Holmgren NLP, Caussade SL, Paz FC, Jofré DP, Sánchez ID. [bjorl.org]

Surfactant production by type II pneumocytes begins around week 20-22, but overall is not enough to prevent airway collapse (atelactstasis) Premature infants born at this stage have a VERY POOR prognosis Terminal sac period (24 weeks – birth) The overall [web.duke.edu]

Etiology The malformation is a result of anomalous embryologic development of the larynx, stemming from incomplete resorption of the epithelial layer that normally obliterates the developing laryngeal opening at about the sixth week of gestation. [orpha.net]

Etiology and pathogenesis Lymphangiomas originate from lymphatic vessel malformations. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Contact Ulcers Etiology may be one of three causes Hard glottal attack Irritation as result of gastric reflux Intubation for surgery Symptoms Hoarseness/roughness of voice Laryngeal pain or pain lateralizing to ear Vocal fatigue Excessive throat-clearing [ucs.louisiana.edu]

Congenital Laryngeal Webs Epidemiology Laryngeal webs are rare congenital anomalies of the larynx. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Laryngeal Webs Epidemiology Laryngeal webs (LWs) are rare lesions that result from incomplete recanalization of the embryonic larynx during the seventh to eighth week of gestation. [radiologykey.com]

A keel (Silastic sheet) prevents this sequlae. Topical corticosteroid injections and local application of mitomycin C also prevents scarring [7]. 4. Conclusion Laryngeal webs range from being asymptomatic to symptomatic. [scirp.org]

The laryngeal web can be successfully treated in a single stage with endoscopic lysis and topical application of mitomycin C for prevention of anterior glottic restenosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In both our patients, we have used a silicone based keel for laryngeal stenting to provide strength and prevent re-webbing. [casereports.bmj.com]

Keel stents are mainly intended to prevent the laryngeal web from reforming; they are frequently used in children with congenital laryngeal web or laryngeal stenosis (i.e., atresia), to repair anterior glottis stenosis, and to **prevent stenosis** after [proz.com]
