Abstract

Instances of dyspnea and mammal disorder due to pharyngeal stenosis and laryngeal stenosis should be carefully examined, and the cause and most effective treatment must be determined in order to ensure the patient’s survival and proper development. Tracheostomy is the most reliable method of ensuring breathing in cases of occlusion of the upper airway, but wearing a tracheal cannula can disturb the lives of children who attend school. However, if tracheostomy is not performed, then these children cannot achieve mobility and proceed with rehabilitation. We should therefore consider the best treatment to ensure children’s quality of life, including approaches through the nasopharyngeal airway and/or surgical intervention.
