Analysis of 141 cases with benign upper airway occupying in infant
Objective:To analyze and summarize the clinical characteristics,diagnosis,treatment and progno-sis of benign upper airway space occupancy in infants.Methods:The clinical data of 141 cases with begin upper airway space from January 2012 to January 2022 were analyzed.Among them,101 were male and 68 were female,the age is 0-3 years old.In which there were 24 newborns.The clinical characteristics,auxiliary examination and treatment results were summarized and analyzed.Results:The main clinical manifestations of 141 infants were dyspnea and/or laryngeal wheezing,including 116 cases of congenital cyst of tongue,15 cases of hair polyps,4 ca-ses of nasopharyngeal second pharyngeal fissure cysts,2 cases of congenital laryngeal cysts,2 cases of pharyngeal bronchial cyst,1 case of nasopharyngeal teratoma and 1 case of myofibroma.All the infants had completed the corresponding examination and treatment.The diagnosis was clear,and there was no missed diagnosis or misdiag-nosis.Among them,19 infants with congenital cyst of tongue were given cyst puncture to relieve dyspnea.2 cases of congenital cyst of tongue recurred half a year after operaion,and then they underwent reoperation.The progno-sis of the remaining infants were good.Conclusion:The most common occupying of benign upper airway space oc-cupancy is cyst,and low-temperature plasma resection under endoscope is the main treatment method.Timely puncture therapy is also a safe and effective treatment for infants who are dyspnea and life threatening.
