Pseudolaryngeal paralysis: a postintubation complications

S R Cohen

    The Annals of Otology, Rhinology, and Laryngology
    |September 1, 1981

    Summary

    Pediatric posterior glottic stenosis was misdiagnosed as vocal cord paralysis in seven children. Early diagnosis and tailored therapy are crucial for managing this challenging condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Laryngology

    Background:

    • Severe posterior glottic stenosis in children can be challenging to diagnose.
    • Misdiagnosis as bilateral vocal cord paralysis is common due to superficial laryngeal examination findings.
    • This condition, termed pseudolaryngeal paralysis, requires specific diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.

    Observation:

    • Seven pediatric patients with severe posterior glottic stenosis were identified.
    • Initial misdiagnosis occurred due to resemblance to bilateral vocal cord paralysis.
    • Detailed case histories and endolaryngeal findings were documented.

    Findings:

    • Three patients were successfully decannulated, though two experienced persistent stridor and reduced exercise tolerance.
    • Four patients showed improvement but remain under treatment.
    • Therapeutic success correlates with the severity of scarring, interarytenoideus muscle fibrosis, and cricoarytenoid joint involvement.

    Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of posterior glottic stenosis is critical for effective pediatric airway management.
    • Understanding the factors influencing treatment outcomes can guide therapeutic strategies.
    • Further research is needed to develop more rapid and successful management protocols for this condition.
