Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To explore the value of fiber laryngoscope in the diagnosis of congenital laryngeal stridor (CLS).
METHOD:The clinical data of One hundred and thirty children who had been examen by laryngofiberscopy and had laryngeal stridor were analyzed retrospectively.
RESULT:We found 73 children having CLS, 2 children having laryngeal web, 5 children having congenital epiglottic cyst, 20 children having mass and cyst of tongue root, 1 child having laryngocele, 3 children having laryngeal papilloma, unilateral or bilateral cricoarytenoid joint of 9 children having poor activities, 17 children were normal.
CONCLUSION:CLS is misdiagnosed easily. Laryngeal strio caused by other diseases soule be excluded before CLS is diagnosed. Our proposal is that fiber laryngoscope should be used as a routine method in the diagnosis of CLS. CT and MRI could also be used if it is necessary.
