hree Cases with Operative Intervention for Respiratory Distress in Early Infancy

Abstract

We reported three cases with dyspnea, stridor and cyanosis. The first case had a cleft epigottis with prolapse of the two halves of the epiglottis into the laryngeal inlet on inspiration. The second case had a white mass attached to the upper portion of the right tonsil. The third case was an 11-day neonate with a large cyst on the right side of the tongue base. Surgical therapy was performed on each patient, with the result that each symptom of respiratory disorder disappeared.
