ABSTRACT
Objective:
To summarize the clinical features and experience in diagnosis and treatment of subglottic cysts in children.Methods:
The clinical data of 5 children with subglottic cysts admitted in Qilu Children′s Hospital of Shandong University from April 2018 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:
Among the 5 patients, 2 cases were premature infants and 3 cases were full term infants.All patients had an endotracheal intubation history.One patient was asymptomatic.Four patients had laryngeal stridor, 2 cases of whom were accompanied by hoarseness and dyspnea.These 2 patients were used to be misdiagnosed with laryngomalacia, laryngitis, etc.Bronchoscopy revealed subglottic gray-white cyst-like lesions, and enhanced CT showed low density without enhancement.All patients were treated with laser and forceps, and bronchoscope was applied in the follow up period for 5-12 weeks.There was no recurrence or subglottic stenosis.Conclusions:
Laryngeal stridor in children with a history of endotracheal intubation must be examined by bronchoscopy in time to find out whether there is subglottic cysts.Laser therapy is an effective treatment for subglottic cysts.
