Summaries for Laryngomalacia

About this section

GARD: 19 Laryngomalacia is an abnormality of the voice box (larynx) that leads to the inward collapse of the airway when air is drawn into the lungs (inspiration). It usually becomes apparent at birth or shortly after birth. The most common symptom is noisy breathing (stridor) that is often worse when the infant is on his/her back or crying. In more severe cases, symptoms may include difficulty breathing with the chest pulling inward (retraction), poor weight gain from difficulty feeding, apnea, and cyanosis. The underlying cause of the condition is unknown. Most cases occur sporadically in people with no family history of the condition.

MalaCards based summary: Laryngomalacia, also known as congenital laryngomalacia, is related to acquired laryngomalacia and tracheomalacia. An important gene associated with Laryngomalacia is WFS1 (Wolframin ER Transmembrane Glycoprotein). The drugs Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include tongue, heart and tonsil, and related phenotypes are laryngomalacia and abnormality of the voice

Orphanet: 58 A rare larynx anomaly characterized by an inward collapse of supraglottic airway during inspiration, which manifests with an inspiratory stridor and might be associated with feeding difficulties, swallowing dysfunction, failure to thrive, and respiratory distress.

Disease Ontology: 11 A laryngeal disease that is characterized by inward collapse of flaccid supraglottic structures during inspiration. The most common symptom is noisy breathing (stridor) that is often worse when the infant is on his/her back or crying.

Wikipedia: 75 Laryngomalacia (literally, "soft larynx") is the most common cause of chronic stridor in infancy, in... more...
