| Popis: | Clinical and endoscopic data of 219 cases of laryngeal paralysis in newborns, infants, and children are briefly reported. The management of severe cases of persistent dyspnea then is discussed, according to the literature. Of 219 cases, 22 young patients underwent a surgical procedure because of lack of spontaneous recovery and poor tolerance of their disease after 6 to 9 months of follow-up. Arytenoidectomy technique has been used three times and arytenoidopexy 19 times, with fair to excellent results. Other possible treatments for infants are discussed. On the basis of this important series of surgical pediatric cases, the arytenoidopexy technique is advocated, besides arytenoidectomy, to avoid the risks of a long-term tracheostomy in young patients with vocal cord paralysis and severe dyspnea. |
