Gastroesophageal reflux association with laryngomalacia: a prospective study

Supraglottoplasty outcomes in relation to age and comorbid conditions

“…In addition, the anatomy in these young patients leads to a more technically demanding surgery. This finding has not been previously reported in the literature, although studies concerning gestational age have shown no affect on outcome [9]. More recently, late-onset laryngomalacia has been described in older patients, with good outcomes after supraglottoplasty [10].…”

Synchronous airway lesions and associated anomalies in children with laryngomalacia evaluated with rigid endoscopy

“…Belmont and Grundfast [3] noted GER on barium swallow in 80% of 30 patients with laryngomalacia, while Giannoni et al [18] observed that GER was significantly associated with severe symptoms in patients with laryngomalacia. In the current study, the incidence of GER was 42.3%.…”

Laryngomalacia: Review and Summary of Current Clinical Practice in 2015

“…Reflux disease has been reported in 65%-100% of infants with laryngomalacia [12,13]. Theoretically, breathing against an obstructed airway generates increased negative intrathoracic pressures and a greater likelihood of overcoming the protective role of the esophageal sphincters.…”
