High impact information on Laryngostenosis

A third unrelated patient with Fraser syndrome had laryngeal stenosis, renal agenesis, and normal lung development, rather than the expected pulmonary hypoplasia [1].
Neonatal death occurred in all cases and may be attributed to a consistent triad of respiratory tract malformations: laryngeal stenosis, tracheobronchomalacia, and pulmonary hypoplasia [2].
CONCLUSION: Congenital laryngostenosis and severe feeding problems may be part of the clinical syndrome caused by chromosome 3q23 deletion [3].
Decannulation was always possible within a mean period of 16.2 days, and no patient developed laryngeal stenosis [4].
The treatment of laryngeal stenosis using the CO2 laser [5].

Chemical compound and disease context of Laryngostenosis

Carbon dioxide laser management of laryngeal stenosis [6].
Triamcinolone acetonide injection for laryngeal stenosis [7].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Laryngostenosis

The CO2 laser may be used endoscopically to treat certain patients with laryngeal stenosis, who would otherwise require open operation or a permanent tracheostomy [5].
