Area of Science:
- Pediatric Otolaryngology
- Pediatric Surgery
Background:
- Iatrogenic injuries in children can affect the larynx.
- Understanding these injuries is crucial for appropriate management.
Observation:
- The study observed two cases of internal larynx injuries in children.
- Case 1: An 11-year-old girl with arytenoid cartilage dislocation.
- Case 2: An 8-year-old girl with post-intubation granuloma.
Findings:
- Arytenoid cartilage dislocation is a potential complication.
- Post-intubation granuloma can occur in pediatric patients.
- These injuries underscore the risks associated with medical interventions.
Implications:
- Highlights the need for vigilance in pediatric airway management.
- Informs clinical practice regarding prevention and treatment of iatrogenic larynx trauma.
- Emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and intervention for better outcomes.
Abstract:
The authors present larynx injuries among children especially with regard to iatrogenic internal injuries based on personally observed cases: dislocation of arytenoid cartilage in 11 year-old girl and post intubation granuloma in 8 year-old girl.
