Dr Halikar Sudhir G

Abstract :

Laryngomalacia is the most common laryngeal anomaly which causes inspiratory stridor in newborns. The disease is usually self–limiting and resolves before the age of two years. We present a case of severe laryngomalacia with feeding disorder and airway obstruction which needed surgical management––aryepiglottoplasty. The shortened aryepiglottic folds were incised using Diode laser through laryngoscopic view. The patient was observed at the hospital for one week after surgery and followup was done for six months in opd with complete recovery.
