Surgical Management of Severe Case of Laryngomalacia

Abstract

Incidence of congenital laryngeal anomalies is between 1:10,000 and 1:50,000 births. Laryngomalacia is the most common cause of congenital stridor, characterized by partial or complete collapse of the supraglottic structures during inspiration. Patient was having inspiratory stridor at birth or immediately after birth. No active intervention is required in 90% of cases. So we are reporting this rare case that required active intervention and will also show how we managed it.
