ABSTRACT
Although laryngomalacia is the most common cause of congenital stridor in infancy, it is a benign, self-limited disease which usually resolves by the age of 18 months with no long- term sequelae. Nevertheless, infants who suffered from recurrent stridor and respiratory distress should be evaluated for other causes of stridor such as cardiopulmonary anomalies. We report 3 cases of infants who had recurrent stridor and respiratory distress from their early infancy. Case 1 had a double aortic arch and a tracheomalacia, case 2 had a hypoplasia of the right lung, and case 3 had a horseshoe lung as well as scimitar syndrome. Physicians should be alert for the possibility of the congenital cardiopulmonary abnormalities in infants with recurrent stridor and/or respiratory distress.
