Abstract:
Laryngomalacia is reported as the most common cause of congenital laryngeal stridor. Despite its benign and self-limited aspects, 10% of all cases require intervention. However, endolaryngeal surgery in neonates makes great demands on the anesthesiologist and the surgeon because of the narrowness of the airways. This case report will present a surgical management of severe laryngomalacia in a newborn using the combination carbon dioxide laser and cold instrument to surgically divide the aryepiglottic fold under conventional ventilation.
