Abstract

A 12 year old child ASA grade 1 weighing 25kg had developed laryngeal web following trauma to neck by a bicycle handle 2 months back. History revealed that he had developed breathlessness just after sustaining trauma which had resolved spontaneously. At that time a CECT scan neck was done which was normal. Gradually he developed hoarseness of voice. Routine preoperative evaluation was within normal limits. Laboratory investigations such as haemogram and urine examination were within normal limits. Indirect laryngoscopy and fiber optic laryngoscopy done by ENT surgeons revealed anterior web at the level of vocal cord covering 75% of glottic opening with restriction of movement of vocal cords. The patient was posted for CO2 laser excision of laryngeal web.
