Congenital subglottic stenosis - what does this mean
Congenital subglottic stenosis is a condition that occurs when the area between the vocal cords and the trachea (windpipe) is abnormally narrow. this narrowing can be present at birth or can develop later in life, and can cause difficulty breathing, stridor, and recurrent respiratory infections.
What happens during the disease - congenital subglottic stenosis
Congenital subglottic stenosis is a condition caused by abnormal development of the subglottic region of the larynx during fetal development. this abnormality leads to narrowing of the airway, resulting in difficulty breathing and stridor. in some cases, the narrowing can be severe enough to cause complete airway obstruction. the exact cause of this disorder is unknown, but it is thought to be due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
Clinical Pattern
Congenital subglottic stenosis is a rare disorder characterized by a narrowing of the airway below the vocal cords, resulting in difficulty breathing and noisy breathing. Symptoms may include stridor, difficulty breathing, noisy breathing, and recurrent respiratory infections. Diagnosis is based on physical examination, imaging studies, and laryngoscopy. Treatment includes surgical airway reconstruction, laser therapy, and dilation of the airway.

Congenital subglottic stenosis - Prevention
The primary prevention of congenital subglottic stenosis is through antenatal screening of high-risk pregnancies, such as those with a family history of the condition or associated chromosomal abnormalities. additionally, avoiding smoking, alcohol, and drug use during pregnancy can reduce the risk of the condition.
