Abstract
- Laryngomalacia is repoted as the most common cause of congenital stridor. The majority of cases have mild symptom and do not require surgical intervention. However, in approximately 10 per cent of these infants the condition is life-threatening. The standard treatment for these patients has been to perform a tracheostomy. Recent reports have shown encouraging results following endoscopic surgery to the supraglottic structures. We report a case of patient in whom a tracheostomy was avoided by performing an CO2 laser microsurgeries on supraglottis.
