Congenital laryngeal cleft is a rare airway malformation, mainly manifested as choking, feeding difficulties, which affects the growth and development of children. Patients with a severe laryngeal cleft may have recurrent aspiration, leading to cyanotic spells, or even death. Advances in development of endoscopic techniques have made early diagnosis possible. Depending on the degree of cleft, management may involve a variety of approaches ranging from medical management alone to open repair. Therefore, it is important for pediatric ENT doctors to diagnose and evaluate in clinical practice. This consensus statement, developed by the Pediatric otorhinolaryngology Professional Committee of the Pediatrician Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, provides comprehensive recommendations and standardized guidance on diagnosis and management of laryngeal cleft, based on symptomatology, physical examinations, and laboratory tests.
先天性喉裂是一种罕见的气道畸形，主要表现为呛咳、喂养困难，影响儿童生长发育。严重喉裂患者可能反复出现误吸，导致青紫发作，甚至死亡。内镜技术的发展进步使早期诊断成为可能。根据喉裂程度，治疗方法包括从单纯药物治疗到开放修复等多种方式。因此，小儿耳鼻喉科医生在临床实践中进行诊断和评估非常重要。本共识声明由中华医学会儿科学分会小儿耳鼻咽喉头颈外科学组制定，基于症状、体格检查和实验室检查，对喉裂的诊断和治疗提供了全面的建议和规范指导。
