Supraglottoplasty in Neonates under One Month of Age.

Published in: The Annals of otology, rhinology, and laryngology (2019)

Supraglottoplasty in children younger than 1 month of age is rare. Despite the rare occurrence, it appears to be feasible early in life in treating laryngomalacia. Neonates with respiratory failure, apneas, and cyanosis, or difficulty feeding due to laryngomalacia should be evaluated and treated with supraglottoplasty.
