We describe a patient who, 4 years after a radical neck dissection and radiotherapy, presented with obstructive sleep apnea; upon bronchoscopy, he was found to have acquired laryngomalacia. Inspiration induced upper airway obstruction due to a large flaccid epiglottis, large aryepiglottic folds, and
OBJECTIVE
To quantify the prevalence and the impact of synchronous airway lesions identified by endoscopy in infants undergoing supraglottoplasty for severe laryngomalacia (LM).
METHODS
Retrospective study.
METHODS
Tertiary care pediatric hospital.
METHODS
Sixty patients who underwent
Laryngomalacia is the most common cause of stridor in children. Previous studies using barium esophagrams or single-probe esophageal pH testing have indicated that 68% to 80% of infants with laryngomalacia have reflux. A recent study in a large series of pediatric patients has shown that these 2
Laryngomalacia is the most common cause of stridor in infancy. Diagnosis is established by associating the clinical manifestations with laryngoscopic findings in a dynamic form.
OBJECTIVE
To analyze diagnostic accuracy of laryngomalacia through flexible nasolaryngoscopy performed by four different
OBJECTIVE: To describe indications and results of supraglottoplasty for severe laryngomalacia in children with or without neurological impairment. METHODS: Eight children with severe laryngomalacia submitted to endoscopic supraglottoplasty were retrospectively studied. Four had neurological
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the clinical characteristics of negative pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE).
METHODS
A retrospective investigation of the clinical manifestation, imageology, clinical course and outcome of 4 children with NPPE seen between June 2012 and July 2013 in a children's hospital. The
OBJECTIVE
To correlate clinical and histological findings in patients with laryngomalacia who required surgical intervention.
METHODS
Retrospective study of all patients undergoing supraglottoplasty by a single surgeon (MEG) for severe laryngomalacia between October, 1999 and November,
From march 1989 to march 1992, three hundred and fifty six respiratory endoscopies were performed at "Hospital da Criança Santo Antônio", Porto Alegre, Brazil. The endoscopies were performed with a rigid pediatric bronchoscope and under general anaesthesia. The most common indications for endoscopy
Flexible laryngoscopy was performed 453 times on 264 patients 4 years of age or younger. Sixty-five percent were under 6 months of age. Stridor was the indication for laryngoscopy in 60% of the patients. Problems secondary to intubation and poor voice each were indications in 12%. The most common
OBJECTIVE
To analyze the causes of stridor in infancy and its treatment.
METHODS
Ninety patients under 1 year of age with stridor (93.06 +/- 82.4 days) were included. All patients were diagnosed by fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
RESULTS
Thirty-eight patients were referred from the pediatric and neonatal
BACKGROUND
mechanical ventilation is used in all Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The patients with more than a week with mechanical ventilation can develop complications in the airway. The diagnosis is carrying out with a bronchoscope.
OBJECTIVE
to determine the type of complications presented
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the feasibility and safety of using fiber-optic laryngoscopy in the first hours after extubation for the early diagnosis of laryngeal lesions in infants and children in the pediatric intensive care unit and describe the findings of such approach.
METHODS
Patients 0-4 years old
OBJECTIVE
To determine how often the pediatric otolaryngology service is involved in the initial care of infants with an apparent life-threatening event (ALTE), to assess the usefulness of bronchoscopy and laryngoscopy in diagnosing the underlying etiology, and to describe the long-term airway
OBJECTIVE
To determine the prevalence of synchronous airway lesions and esophagitis in children younger than 18 months undergoing adenoidectomy for adenoid hypertrophy and upper airway obstruction.
METHODS
Retrospective review spanning 4.5 years.
METHODS
Tertiary care children's
Recently, gastroesophageal reflux (GER) has been found to contribute to many types of otolaryngologic pathology in infants and children. The complaints may be intermittent and unresponsive to usual therapies, such as antimicrobial treatments. A high index of suspicion for GER and for the concept of
