Two young children who sustained thermal injuries to the epiglottis (or "thermal epiglottitis") after swallowing hot beverages are reported. Findings, clinically and radiologically, in both children were similar to acute infectious epiglottitis. Children with these injuries are at risk for significant upper airway obstruction which may progress for several hours. Children in whom thermal epiglottitis is suspected should be approached with the same caution and preparedness for emergency airway management and pediatric intensive care afforded those with acute infectious epiglottitis.
据报道，有两名幼儿在吞咽热饮后会厌受到热损伤（即“热射性会厌炎”）。两名儿童的临床和放射学检查结果均与急性感染性会厌炎相似。这些受伤儿童有发生严重上呼吸道梗阻的风险，这种梗阻可能会持续数小时。对于疑似热射性会厌炎的儿童，应给予与急性感染性会厌炎患儿相同的谨慎对待，并做好紧急气道管理和儿科重症监护的准备。
