Abstract
Eighty-five children who presented with stridor were reviewed in order to determine the aetiology of stridor in these cases. Congenital causes accounted for 57.6% of cases. Laryngomalacia was the commonest congenital abnormality (77.5%). Other common causes of stridor were a foreign body in the airway (acquired) and laryngotracheobronchitis (33.3%) (infective). Tracheostomized children are a problem in developing countries, requiring prolonged hospitalization. We overcome this problem by teaching parents how to maintain the tracheostomy tube at homeKeywords
