Laryngomalacia is a common disease of infancy which can present with atypical symptoms and at an atypical age, causing the diagnosis to often be overlooked. We report a case of a male patient who was diagnosed with laryngomalacia at the age of three months. The patient's inspiratory stridor resolved within a year, but he went on to develop atypical croup. The patient was later diagnosed with severe laryngomalacia which complicated his "croup-like" symptoms. He subsequently underwent supraglottoplasty with complete resolution of symptoms.
喉软化症是一种常见的婴儿疾病,可表现为非典型症状且发病年龄不典型,常导致诊断被忽视。我们报告一例男性患者,该患者在三个月大时被诊断为喉软化症。患者的吸气性喘鸣在一年内消失,但随后发展为非典型哮吼。该患者后来被诊断为重度喉软化症,这使他的“哮吼样”症状变得复杂。他随后接受了声门上成形术,症状完全缓解。
