Laryngeal hypoplasia - what does this mean
Laryngeal hypoplasia is a congenital condition in which the larynx is underdeveloped, resulting in a narrowing of the airway. this can cause difficulty breathing, a hoarse voice, and a decreased ability to swallow.
What happens during the disease - laryngeal hypoplasia
Laryngeal hypoplasia is a condition in which the larynx, or voice box, is abnormally small. it is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, including genetic mutations, prenatal exposure to certain medications or toxins, or certain infections during pregnancy. these factors can disrupt the development of the larynx, resulting in reduced size and function. symptoms of laryngeal hypoplasia may include hoarseness, stridor, difficulty breathing, and feeding difficulties. treatment may involve medications, surgery, or other interventions depending on the severity of the condition.
