Respiratory distress and stridor are some of the common presenting symptoms for children in Pediatric Emergency Department. Most of these children are diagnosed as having common illnesses such as laryngitis, croup or laryngomalacia. However, Pediatric Emergency physicians must keep in mind other rare respiratory diseases other than laryngitis or croup in the differential diagnosis of stridor. Stridor may occur due to congenital and acquired diseases. Laryngeal web is one of the rare congenital causes of stridor, which usually presents in the first weeks of life; however, it is very rarely diagnosed in the later period. Herein, we report a one-year-old boy who was evaluated for croup and was diagnosed as having laryngeal web.
呼吸窘迫和喘鸣是儿科急诊科儿童常见的就诊症状。这些儿童大多被诊断为患有喉炎、哮吼或喉软化症等常见疾病。然而，儿科急诊医生在鉴别诊断喘鸣时，必须考虑除喉炎或哮吼之外的其他罕见呼吸道疾病。喘鸣可能由先天性和后天性疾病引起。喉蹼是导致喘鸣的罕见先天性原因之一，通常在出生后的头几周出现；然而，在后期很少被诊断出来。在此，我们报告一名1岁男孩，他因哮吼接受评估，最终被诊断为喉蹼。
