Abstract:
The most common etiology of neonatal upper airway obstruction is congenital abnormalities,including choanal atresia,Pierre Robin sequence,occupational lesions,laryngomalacia,and so on.Some patients are after birth with dyspnea,severe cases with suffocation,and even death.Due to lack of specific clinical manifestations in early neonatal periode,it is usually misdiagnosed as other respiratory diseases.Therefore,early identification of the etiology,as soon as possible to relieve the obstruction,is particularly critical in the prevention of suffocation for the upper airway obstruction in the neonatal period.
