“…In cases submitted to supraglottoplasty, we conducted direct laryngoscopy and rigid bronchoscopy to exclude the presence of syndromic lesions. We agree with some authors 2,12,20 that consider unnecessary to perform direct laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy as a routine to diagnose laryngeal stridor in children. Gray 21 demonstrated that in 80% of the cases of children with laryngeal stridor it was possible to make the diagnosis only with flexible endoscopy and in 20% of the cases it was necessary to have direct laryngoscopy with rigid endoscopy.…”
