    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Familial vocal cord paralysis, a rare cause of neonatal stridor, affects siblings. Diagnosis requires endoscopy, and treatment balances risks with potential spontaneous recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Pulmonology
    • Genetics
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Neonatal stridor is commonly caused by vocal cord paralysis.
    • Familial vocal cord dysfunction presents a rare clinical scenario.

    Observation:

    • Three siblings presented with neonatal stridor.
    • Endoscopic examination confirmed vocal cord dysfunction in two siblings.
    • One sibling required a temporary tracheotomy.

    Findings:

    • Pulmonary function tests indicated neuromuscular pathway dysfunction affecting vocal cord abduction.
    • Endoscopy is crucial for diagnosing vocal cord dysfunction.

    Implications:

    • Physicians must consider the life-threatening potential of vocal cord paralysis.
    • Therapeutic decisions should account for the possibility of spontaneous resolution in familial and idiopathic cases.
