Abstract

Laryngomalacia is the most common congenital laryngeal anomaly. Usually, the symptoms of laryngomalacis are mild and the disease does not interfere with the general body growth as it resolves itself spontaneously. Occasionally, however, it causes a failure to grow, apnea or cardiopulmonary diseases. We have recently experienced a case of severe laryngomalacia neonate. Aryepiglottoplasty with apnea technique was carried out under the general anesthesia using CO2 Laser.
