Posterior cleft larynx associated with hamartoma.

S R Cohen

    The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology
    |September 1, 1984

    Summary

    This study presents a rare laryngeal hamartoma with a posterior cleft, causing severe airway obstruction and recurrent pneumonia in two children. Endoscopic removal successfully resolved obstruction and pneumonia, though aspiration persisted with rapid fluid intake.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Medical Genetics

    Background:

    • Laryngeal hamartomas are rare benign tumors.
    • Posterior laryngeal clefts can cause significant respiratory and feeding issues.
    • This case report details a unique combination of these anomalies.

    Observation:

    • Two pediatric patients presented with severe obstructive laryngeal disease.
    • Symptoms included airway obstruction, aspiration of liquids, recurrent bronchitis, and pneumonia.
    • Associated conditions included polysplenia and Opitz-Frias (G) syndrome.

    Findings:

    • A rare laryngeal hamartoma associated with an isolated posterior cleft was identified.
    • Endoscopic removal of the hamartoma provided immediate relief from obstruction and recurrent pneumonia.
    • Persistent aspiration occurred with rapid fluid consumption, indicating residual swallowing dysfunction.

    Implications:

    • Surgical management of laryngeal hamartomas can effectively alleviate obstructive symptoms.
    • The combination of hamartoma and posterior cleft presents a complex pediatric airway challenge.
    • Further management strategies may be needed for residual aspiration post-operatively.
