Issue Date: | 2019 | Source: | 7, (5), 2019 | Journal: | Respirology Case Reports | Abstract: | Aplasia of the epiglottis is a rare airway abnormality requiring airway and feeding interventions. We report a case of bronchiectasis in the setting of congenital aplasia of the epiglottis, secondary to early-life aspiration events. Compensatory mechanisms for airway protection likely develop later in life.L6276363432019-05-16 | DOI: | 10.1002/rcr2.430 | Resources: | https://www.embase.com/search/results?subaction=viewrecord&id=L627636343&from=exporthttp://dx.doi.org/10.1002/rcr2.430 | | Keywords: | aspiration;body dysmorphic disorder;breathing exercise;bronchiectasis;bronchoscopy;case report;child;cleft palate;clinodactyly;computer assisted tomography;epiglottis;growth;Haemophilus influenzae;heart atrium septum defect;heart ventricle septum defect;aplasia;infant;male;micrognathia;pregnancy diabetes mellitus;Pseudomonas aeruginosa;respiratory tract infection;Streptococcus pneumoniae;thorax radiography;vocal cord;wheezing;acute disease;macrolide;antibiotic agentazithromycin;human;article | Type: | Article |
