Pyriform aperture stenosis is a rare form of congenital nasal obstruction; it poses a management dilemma for otolaryngologists and physicians alike. It can result in poor weight gain and potentially life-threatening airflow obstruction. The challenge lies in the difficulty to predict which patients will require invasive operative management versus conservative therapy alone.
This case demonstrates the successful use of high-flow nasal cannula therapy in a young child with pyriform aperture stenosis.
梨状孔狭窄是一种罕见的先天性鼻阻塞形式；这给耳鼻喉科医生和内科医生都带来了治疗难题。它可能导致体重增加不佳以及潜在的危及生命的气流阻塞。挑战在于难以预测哪些患者需要侵入性手术治疗，哪些仅需保守治疗。
本病例展示了高流量鼻导管治疗在一名患有梨状孔狭窄的幼儿中的成功应用。
