ABSTRACT
DiGeorge Syndrome (DGS) may be associated with airway abnormalities including laryngomalacia and suprastomal collapse of the trachea (SCT), which may lead to sleep disordered breathing (SDB). We present a 4-year-old boy with DGS, SCT, and SDB by polysomnography (PSG) while the tracheostomy tube was capped. The patient underwent anterior tracheal wall suspension (ATWS) with concurrent tracheostomy decannulation. Following the repair, the patient experienced improved airway patency visually and by PSG with resolution of obstructive sleep apnea and hypoventilation. ATWS is an effective method to repair SCT in selected patients and may lead to early decannulation and improvement of SDB.
