laryngomalacia मीनिंग इन हिंदी

The same condition can also affect the larynx, which is called laryngomalacia.
Laryngomalacia results in partial airway obstruction, most commonly causing a characteristic high-pitched squeaking noise on inhalation ( inspiratory stridor ).
A sub-group of children may have occult laryngomalacia, where the tissue directly above the vocal cords ( epiglottis, arytenoids ) collapses into the airway during sleep.
Associated conditions include hypoplasia of nasal bridge, laryngomalacia, pectus carinatum, congenital heart defects, ventriculomegaly, agenesis of the corpus callosum, stippled epiphyses, telebrachydactyly, and growth retardation.
Treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease can also help in the treatment of laryngomalacia, since gastric contents can cause the back part of the larynx to swell and collapse even further into the airway.
