Clinical Findings Patients with LM present with inspiratory stridor. Stridor is seldom present at birth but usually starts within the first few days to weeks of life.[radiologykey.com]
This severe form presents as persistent sternal recession, feedingdifficulties, and failure to thrive, progressing to apnoeic attacks, cor pulmonale and eventually death.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

There is no significant airway obstruction, no feedingdifficulties, or other symptoms associated with laryngomalacia. The noisy breathing is annoying to caregivers, but does not cause other health care problems.[childrenshospital.vanderbilt.org]
Other than triggering malignant hyperthermia in susceptible patients, succinylcholine-induced fasciculations can cause fractures and neck hyperextension leading to atlanto-occipital dislocations. It was therefore avoided in our case.[ijaweb.org]
Diagnosis of a right-sided obstructed, irreducible indirect inguinalhernia was made. The paediatric surgeons reduced the hernia and a semi-elective herniotomy was planned.[ijaweb.org]
Prolapse of supraglottic tissues produces a variable amount of airway obstruction and inspiratorystridor. A majority of infants have mild disease and are managed expectantly.[scholars.northwestern.edu]
However when present, it accounts for severe inspiratorystridor, causing airway compromise, and sometimes even death. Laryngomalacia is the commonest congenital anomaly of the larynx, which is present after birth giving rise to inspiratorystridor.[laryngologyandvoice.org]
The patient was a known case of congenital laryngomalacia with inspiratorystridor which decreases on being prone. On examination, bilateral crepitations were present in both the lung fields with mild inspiratorystridor and heart rate of 126/min.[saudija.org]

Referral to a specialist such as the Children’s ENT and Facial Plastic Clinic is appropriate if one or more of the following criteria are met in addition to noisy breathing/stridor: Respiratory distress- tachypnea, retractions, trachealtugging, apnea[childrensmn.org]
Other symptoms may include: difficulty feeding poor weight gain choking while feeding apnea (pauses in breathing) pulling in neck and chest with each breath cyanosis (blue spells) gastroesophageal reflux (spitting, vomiting and regurgitation) Inhalation[childrenshospital.org]

Other symptoms that can be associated with laryngomalacia include: Feeding difficulties Poor weight gain (failure to thrive) Regurgitation of food (vomiting or spitting up) Choking on food Gastroesophageal reflux (spitting up acid from the stomach) Chest[childrenshospital.vanderbilt.org]
Here, we share our experience of anaesthesia management of an infant with congenital laryngomalacia and recently diagnosed osteogenesis imperfecta type 1 who had presented to us with an acuteabdomen for a semi-emergency herniotomy.[ijaweb.org]
A 6-month-old male infant, 3.5 kg in weight, presented with the history of refusal to feed, tender abdomen, swelling in the right groin and constipation since 3 days.[ijaweb.org]
The infant was kept in the intensive care unit (ICU) for 3 days post-delivery for breathing difficulties and neonataljaundice. Anaesthesia pre-evaluation revealed microretrognathia [Figure 1].[ijaweb.org]
The infant was kept in the intensive care unit (ICU) for 3 days post-delivery for breathing difficulties and neonatal jaundice. Anaesthesia pre-evaluation revealed microretrognathia [Figure 1].[ijaweb.org]
Subsequent paediatric, orthopaedic and ophthalmologic evaluations revealed bluesclera, spontaneous rib fractures, failure to thrive and multiple hernias (umbilical and right inguinal) because of the lax abdominal wall.[ijaweb.org]

The findings underline the heterogeneity of childhood respiratory disease and the importance of considering early life factors when performing diagnostic workup.[adc.bmj.com]
If the baby has normal cry, normal weight gain, normal development, and purely inspiratory noise that developed within the first 2 months of life, then no further workup may be necessary.[emedicine.medscape.com]

Some babies, however, develop severe breathing problems that need treatment.[cooperhealth.org]
Aim: The aim of this study was to assess clinical presentation, management and prognosis of infants and children suffering from laryngomalacia presented to our department in the period of 5 years.[nature.com]
Treatment and prognosis Treatment is largely supportive since most children show spontaneous resolution after 12-24 months. When associated gastro-esophageal reflux disease is present, that should be treated.[radiopaedia.org]
Conclusion: In most children, the prognosis is favorable, as airway obstruction is not severe, and the symptoms improve in patients younger than 2 years.[thieme-connect.com]
Prognosis [ edit ] Laryngomalacia becomes symptomatic after the first few months of life (2–3 months), and the stridor may get louder over the first year, as the child moves air more vigorously.[en.wikipedia.org]
The goal of this study was to elucidate the etiology of decreased laryngeal tone through evaluating the sensorimotor integrative function of the larynx.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology.[icd10coded.com]
Epidemiology Laryngomalacia (LM) is the most common congenital laryngeal abnormality and accounts for 60% of laryngeal problems in the newborn. It is the most common cause of stridor in infants.[radiologykey.com]
Epidemiology [ edit ] Although this is a congenital lesion, airway sounds typically begin at age 4–6 weeks. Until that age, inspiratory flow rates may not be high enough to generate the sounds.[en.wikipedia.org]
