Types of laryngomalacia in children: interrelationship between clinical course and comorbid conditions

Abstract: The aim of this study was to: (1) find out whether laryngomalacia (LM) types are related to clinical course; (2) which patients with LM are at higher risk of other airway malacia [tracheomalacia (TM) and/or bronchomalacia (BM)]; and (3) evaluate the prevalence of LM in our region. Patients with established LM diagnosis and complete clinical and endoscopy records were enrolled. They were classified into different LM types according to classification based on the side of supraglottic obstruction. One hundred ten… Show more

“…However, we focused on infants up to 1 year of age with congenital stridor of uncertain etiology and to the best of our knowledge; this cohort of patients has not been reported before. Second, the diagnosis of laryngomalacia by US is indeed based on the collapse of laryngeal structures, hence is especially applicable to laryngomalacia types 1 and 2 which form the majority of laryngomalacia cases . In our patients, no cases of laryngomalacia without adduction of arytenoids and/or false vocal cords were observed by FLB.…”

“…Su incidencia es aproximadamente 1:2100 niños, y es la anomalía congénita más común de la tráquea [38]. La traqueomalacia puede ser congénita o adquirida y consiste en el colapso de la tráquea durante la respiración.…”

“…Este colapso ocurre en la mayoría de los casos en la vía aérea intratorácica lo que conduce al estrechamiento de la vía aérea durante la espiración. Puede asociarse a bronquiomalacia [38]. Una de las clasificaciones más utilizadas, define la traqueomalacia primaria cuando afecta a la tráquea en sí misma, en oposición a la traqueomalacia secundaria debida a compresión extrínseca (generalmente vascular), fístula o hendiduras esofágicas y cirugía (traqueostomía o reconstrucciones laringotraqueales) [38,39].…”
