Presents with high fever and difficulty in swallowing. Retropharyngeal abscesses present with pain on swallowing and hyperextension of the neck. Peritonsillar abscess presents with trismus, difficulty with swallowing and difficulty with speaking. [patient.info]

Obviously, if the original obstruction is severe, the child will present early and with more severe symptoms, including presentation of stridor in the delivery room (SUMMARY) (SUMMARY). [virtualpediatrichospital.org]

Airway obstructions should be considered in the workup of non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema. Tracheal stenting can be effective in the resolution of such edema in select patients. From the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care, Springfield, IL. [journals.lww.com]

Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the preferred cross-sectional imaging tool for evaluating the full extent of cervicothoracic masses and the relationships between neurovascular structures, it is not the initial imaging method of choice for the workup [emedicine.medscape.com]

Antibiotics and corticosteroids are recommended for the acute form, although the efficacy of treatment is not reported. Tracheostomy may be required in severe cases. Providing shade and cooling with fans or water sprays is recommended. [merckvetmanual.com]

Hence, a high index of suspicion is required to recognize such an infrequent and unpredictable syndrome in order to provide appropriate treatment and prompt, timely resolution. [journals.lww.com]

Treatment and prognosis The key goals of management are: maintaining airway: preserve life restoring function to larynx: voice quality uncooperative or unstable patients may not be in the normal anatomical position on the CT scanner. [radiopaedia.org]

Laryngospasm induced pulmonary edema is a self-limited condition with excellent prognosis and relatively simple management but it may also result in significant prolonged hospital stay and the necessity of intensive care unit. [ispub.com]

Prognosis The outcome of stridor depends on its cause. Death by suffocation may occur when a foreign object blocks the airway. Otherwise the outcome for most cases of stridor is good to excellent, depending on the cause. [healthofchildren.com]

The long-term prognosis is good as these children outgrow their problem. [virtualpediatrichospital.org]

The etiology is unknown. Proposed causes include respiratory viruses and bacteria, trauma to the trachea from feed bunks, passive congestion and edema from excessive fat accumulation in the thoracic inlet, hypersensitivity reactions, and mycotoxins. [merckvetmanual.com]

Etiology The larynx may be injured in a number of ways 1,2 : external blunt: motor vehicle accidents, "clothesline" accidents, strangulation, falls, sporting injuries external penetrating: stabbing, shooting internal blunt: iatrogenic during endotracheal [radiopaedia.org]

Although laryngospasm accounts for more than 50% of the reported POPE in adults, 3 other adult etiologies include laryngeal tumors, strangulation, acute epiglottitis, croup, and tracheal obstruction secondary to goiter or neoplasm. 1,2,4–6 Unilateral [journals.lww.com]

Biphasic stridor suggests subglottic or glottic obstruction. [ 1 ] Epidemiology The detailed epidemiology of stridor depends on the cause, but it is worth noting the following patterns of disease: Stridor is common in younger children with smaller airways [patient.info]
