ABSTRACT
Objective:
To evaluate the etiological diagnosis value of soft bronchoscopy in children with laryngeal stridor.Methods:
The clinical data of 402 children with laryngeal stridor wheezing were retrospectively analyzed, which examined by soft bronchoscopy in Anhui Provincial Children′s Hospital from January 2016 to January 2019.Results:
A total of 402 cases of laryngeal stridor were diagnosed by soft bronchoscopy, 317(78.8%) cases were diagnosed as congenital airway dysplasia, including 200(49.7%)cases of congenital laryngeal chondromalacia, which including 132 cases of single laryngeal chondromalacia and 68 cases with other respiratory tract dysplasia, and 117(29.1%) cases of respiratory dysplasia other than laryngeal chondromalacia; 46(11.5%) cases of laryngitis; 28(7.0%) cases of airway acquired stenosis and 11 (2.7%)cases of foreign body.Among 402 cases of children with laryngeal stridor who were diagnosed according to clinical feature, combined with chest X-ray, chest CT, CT angiography and color Doppler echocardiography as well as other imaging data, 335(83.3%) cases were congenital laryngeal chondromalacia, 16(4.0%) cases were other respiratory tract dysplasia (including six cases of subglottic and tracheal stenosis, five cases of laryngeal space occupying lesions, four cases of tracheobronchial malformation, and one case of subglottic hemangioma), 35 (8.7%)cases of laryngitis, acquired airway stenosis in 15 cases including 13 cases of congenital heart disease, one case of pulmonary artery sling, one case of mediastinal cyst, and one case of foreign body.Congenital laryngeal chondromalacia, other causes of respiratory dysplasia and foreign body detected by flexible bronchoscopy were not consistent with clinical examination( P<0.05).Conclusion:
Congenital laryngeal chondromalacia is the main cause of laryngeal stridor, but it is often associated with other airway dysplasia.Soft bronchoscopy can provides etiological diagnosis for children with laryngeal stridor wheezing, especially in the diagnosis of respiratory tract dysplasia and airway foreign body.
