The authors present a female patient of type-IV laryngo-tracheo-esophageal cleft (LTEC) who survived the definitive operation and was discharged from the hospital.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A review of the literature did not reveal any reports of a similar presentation. We share our experience of an unusual and unexpected presentation of a case of LTEC.[ijaweb.org]
As evident from contrast esophagogram and endoscopy, the Type II LTEC was present in the reported case.[pediatriconcall.com]
Clinical description Depending on the severity of the malformation, patients may present with stridor, hoarse cry, swallowing difficulties, aspirations, cough, dyspnea and cyanosis through to early respiratory distress.[orpha.net]

Examination of the child at the time of admission revealed sick, febrile, anemic child with coarsefacialfeatures, dry and coarse skin and marked respiratory distress. Child was malnourished (weight 2.9 kg).[pediatriconcall.com]
We believe that our procedure is a feasible choice for long-term survival in patients with a severe LTEC with congenital heartdisease.[ci.nii.ac.jp]
Congenital heartdisease, hypoparathyroidism, laryngo-tracheo-esophageal anomalies and autoimmune disorder (late onset autoimmune hypothyroidism) have been described in DiGeorge syndrome.[pediatriconcall.com]
Congenital heartdisease has not been mentioned in previous reports of Feingold syndrome. Paramembranous VSD is a relatively common cardiac malformation and has as yet not required surgical closure in the patient reported herein.[nature.com]
The presence of comorbidities, such as congenital heartdisease generally prompts close medical scrutiny of these neonates.[theajo.com]
First heart sound was loud with grade III systolicmurmur. Other systems were normal. Laboratory investigations revealed dimorphic anemia and toxic granulation in the peripheral blood film. Blood culture grew staphylococcus aureus.[pediatriconcall.com]
It is therefore recommended the LTEC should be kept in mind in a newborn presenting with: (a) excessive frothiness and drooling of secretions (b) recurrent aspiration and choking during feed (c) repeated attacks of cyanosis and (d) recurrent pneumonias[pediatriconcall.com]
Two weeks after the surgery, patient developed copious drooling of secretions.[joacp.org]
In the neonate, excessive drooling is often the first symptom. If feedings are attempted, the baby often chokes, regurgitates, and becomes cyanotic.[emedicine.medscape.com]

Blood culture grew staphylococcusaureus. Serum T3 level was 2.0 pg/dl (normal 3.1-8.6 pg/dl and Serum T4 was 0.76 μg/dl (normal 12-33 μg/dl) and TSH level of 18.94 μIU/ml (normal level 1.7-9.1 μIU/ml) were suggestive of hypothyroidism.[pediatriconcall.com]
Management and treatment Once the cleft is diagnosed, it is essential to determine its length to orient the management and treatment approach.[orpha.net]
Multidisciplinary contributions on medical treatment, radiation oncology, and surgery and anesthesia are included. Highlights include new material on minimally invasive procedures and thoroughly updated diagnostic and treatment information.[books.google.de]
Treatment requires endoscopic or external surgery to close the cleft.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis The prognosis is variable depending on the severity of the LC and associated malformations. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment and management help to reduce mortality and morbidity.[orpha.net]
The prognosis is variable depending on the severity of the LC and associated malformations. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment and management help to reduce mortality and morbidity.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis is always guarded, as review of 85 cases by Roth et al in 1983 revealed overall mortality of 46% (43% type I and II, 42% for type III and 93% for type IV).[pediatriconcall.com]
Advances in both surgical and anaesthetic techniques should continue to improve prognosis and reduce morbidity and mortality rates, which remain significant. Declaration of interest None declared.[academic.oup.com]
Etiology Laryngeal clefts result from failure of fusion of the posterior cricoid lamina and abnormal development of the tracheo-esophageal septum.[orpha.net]
Etiology has been attributed to genetic factors, infections, and teratogens, but in most instances, no cause is identifiable.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Therefore, there is a need for waiving other possible etiologies of airway compromise such as associated cardiac or vascular malformations, gastro esophageal reflux, and esophageal stricture ( 6 , 17 – 19 ).[frontiersin.org]

We found that a large bore nasogastric tube (10 F) passed into the esophagus was useful in decompressing the stomach and keeping the ETT near the carina prevented its displacement.[joacp.org]
After providing sufficient explanation to the parents, laryngotracheal separation was performed at 1 year 7 months of age to prevent aspiration completely.[ci.nii.ac.jp]

Management involves maintenance of satisfactory ventilation, prevention of secondary pulmonary complications as a result of repeated aspirations, and adequate feeding. Endotracheal intubation may be required for respiratory distress in severe cases.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
