Stenosis of the larynx is more frequent than tracheal stenosis; in a review of 752 cases of stridor seen at The Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street, London, laryngeal pathology accounted for 88% of the cases (Evans, 1986). The major cause of airway obstruction was as a result of congenital anomalies of the larynx and trachea. Holinger (1980) noted in his review of 219 patients with ...

Congenital high airway obstruction syndrome is rare fetal malformation caused by obstruction of fetal airway because of laryngeal or tracheal atresia, subglottic stenosis, laryngeal cyst or laryngeal web. This clinical condition was brought into notice first by Hedrick in the late 1900 [1]. CHAOS is usually caused by atresia or stenosis of the larynx or trachea. The true incidence of CHAOS is u...

Two sibships of double first cousins in which 6 children had congenital laryngeal anomalies are reported. 3 of the children had proven congenital posterior laryngeal clefts, 1 had subglottic stenosis with a deformed cricoid cartil...

Airway stenosis, in particular, laryngotracheal occurs due to various causes and pathological conditions, a number of surgical procedures have been proposed for its treatment. For bilateral vocal fold paralysis, posterior glottic subglottic the transoral and/or open approach, including laterofixation fold, arytenoidectomy, laryngotracheoplasty, can be performed according condition, extent, seve...

Bilateral vocal fold immobility may result from bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis or physiologic insults to the airway such as glottic scars. The progression of mucosal injury to granulation tissue, and then posterior glottis stenosis, is an accepted theory but has not been photodocumented. This paper presents serial images from common postintubation injury to less common posterior ...
