Abstract There is at present, very little information on congenital laryngomalacia in the anaesthetic literature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Canadian Journal of Anesthesia/Journal canadien d'anesthésie, Apr 1994 There is at present, very little information on congenital laryngomalacia in the anaesthetic literature. [paperity.org]

Barium studies, chest CT scan and angiography are reserved for those cases where a cardiovascular anomaly is present. [ijaweb.org]

• Feeding Difficulties

  This severe form presents as persistent sternal recession, feeding difficulties, and failure to thrive, progressing to apnoeic attacks, cor pulmonale and eventually death. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  There is no significant airway obstruction, no feeding difficulties, or other symptoms associated with laryngomalacia. The noisy breathing is annoying to caregivers, but does not cause other health care problems. [childrenshospital.vanderbilt.org]

• Hyperthermia

  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]

• Inspiratory Stridor

  Prolapse of supraglottic tissues produces a variable amount of airway obstruction and inspiratory stridor. A majority of infants have mild disease and are managed expectantly. [scholars.northwestern.edu]

  However when present, it accounts for severe inspiratory stridor, causing airway compromise, and sometimes even death. Laryngomalacia is the commonest congenital anomaly of the larynx, which is present after birth giving rise to inspiratory stridor. [laryngologyandvoice.org]

  Pediatric Radiology > Chest > Pediatric Airway > Laryngomalacia Pediatric Airway Laryngomalacia Evaluation of a child with an inspiratory stridor is a frequent request. Most commonly, inspiratory stridor is caused by laryngomalacia. [med-ed.virginia.edu]

  The patient was a known case of congenital laryngomalacia with inspiratory stridor which decreases on being prone. On examination, bilateral crepitations were present in both the lung fields with mild inspiratory stridor and heart rate of 126/min. [saudija.org]

• Tracheal Tug

  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, tracheal tugging, apnea [childrensmn.org]

• Choking

  Subsequent paediatric, orthopaedic and ophthalmologic evaluations revealed blue sclera, spontaneous rib fractures, failure to thrive and multiple hernias (umbilical and right inguinal) because of the lax abdominal wall. [ijaweb.org]

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]

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]

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]

Prevention Adults must keep small, easily swallowed objects such as coins, beads, and hard, round candies away from young children so that they do not try to swallow them. [healthofchildren.com]

Premedication of patients with laryngomalacia is essential to prevent vagal responses and as an antisialogogue, sedation is to be used judiciously. [ijaweb.org]
