Abstract

Stridor is a noise caused by the passage of turbulent air through a diminished airway caliber. Laryngomalacia is the most common congenital anomaly of the larynx and the principal cause of stridor in children under 6 months.

A less common aetiology of stridor and respiratory distress in newborns and infants is congenital laryngeal saccular cyst. This entity should be considered in the differential diagnosis of stridor. Early recognition and proper treatment are essential because it can cause life-threatening airway obstruction.

We describe our experience with 4 patients with this disease, 3 of them were successfully treated with microsurgical resection of the cyst, and we emphasise the importance of considering the endoscopic evaluation of the airway in every child exhibiting stridor with an unexpected evolution to determine the causal lesion.

Resumen

El estridor es un ruido ocasionado por el pasaje de aire en forma turbulenta mediante una vía aérea con calibre disminuido. La laringomalacia es la anomalía congénita más común de la laringe y la principal causa de estridor en los menores de 6 meses.

Una etiología menos frecuente de estridor y dificultad respiratoria en el recién nacido y lactante es el quiste sacular laríngeo congénito, y debe ser considerado en el diagnóstico diferencial del estridor. El reconocimiento precoz y el tratamiento adecuado son esenciales ya que puede causar obstrucción de la vía aérea con amenaza de vida.

Describimos nuestra experiencia con 4 pacientes que presentaban esta afección, 3 de ellos tratados exitosamente con resección microquirúrgica del quiste, y destacamos la importancia de considerar la evaluación endoscópica de la vía aérea en todo niño con estridor cuya evolución no es la esperada para determinar la lesión causal.
