Airway Involvement in Conradi–Hünermann–Happle Syndrome: A Novel Clinical Manifestation
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.We report the first documented case of airway involvement in Conradi–Hünermann–Happle syndrome (CDPX2), an X‐linked dominant form of chondrodysplasia punctata caused by pathogenic variants in EBP. A 2‐month‐old female with genetically confirmed CDPX2 developed severe subglottic stenosis and persistent respiratory distress requiring CPAP; cross ...

Mucosal injury following short term tracheal intubation: a novel animal model and composite injury score [PDF]
, 2018 Objectives: Postintubation laryngotracheal injury is common. Assessment of histopathological changes currently requires animal models. We set about developing a viable, resource effective animal model to study these effects and to develop a detailed ...

Systemic Immunosuppression to Reduce Surgical Intervention in ANCA‐Negative Subglottic Stenosis
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS) typically follows an indolent course managed with surgical dilatation, though a subset demonstrates aggressive, recurrent disease. In this retrospective cohort study, systemic immunosuppression significantly prolonged inter‐dilation intervals in both granulomatosis with polyangiitis‐associated SGS and an “atypical”

The saw-tooth sign as a clinical clue for intrathoracic central airway obstruction [PDF]
, 2012 BACKGROUND: The saw-tooth sign was first described by Sanders et al in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome as one cause of extrathoracic central airway obstruction. The mechanism of the saw-tooth sign has not been conclusively clarified.

Journal of thoracic disease, 2016 Benign subglottic stenosis represents a major therapeutic challenge. Interventional bronchoscopic treatment has a limited role in this setting due to anatomical and technical reasons. The benefit with these techniques is generally temporary, due to frequent recurrences, need for repeated procedures and risk of extending the area of damage ...

Bronchial Mucosal Abnormalities in Idiopathic Subglottic Stenosis
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS) is a challenging variant of airway stenosis associated with consistent distal airway abnormalities on bronchoscopy, including pits, depressions, and striations. Despite these findings, most patients demonstrate normal or mild–moderate obstruction on spirometry.

Vascular rings: A rare cause of common respiratory symptoms [PDF]
, 1999 Upper airway symptoms or dysphagia may be caused by vascular anomalies, forming a ring around the trachea, oesophagus or both. To analyse the clinical presentation, use of various diagnostic techniques, treatment and follow-up we carried out a ...

Endothelial Hydrogels Improve Microvascular Regeneration and Perfusion in Tracheal Scaffolds
The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.Insufficient vascularization remains a major barrier to successful tracheal transplantation. This study demonstrates that an endothelial hydrogel significantly enhances graft perfusion and neovessel organization compared to non‐endothelial hydrogel controls.
