Abstract |
We experienced a case of congenital subglottic stenosis in a male baby of 2 month old. He surffered
from respiratory difficulties since 40 days after birth. Initially, he had been considered as a stridor
because of the symptom of upper airway obstruction did not improved for 4 months, so we started to
assess the lesion of subglottic area since 15 days after admission, and concluded the diagnosis was
congenital subglottic stenosis. The respiratory problem continued until he was 6 months of age and
by 14 month old, normal breath sound was auscultated. A brief review of literature was made. |
