Abstract
A case of congenital cricoid stenosis in a 9-year-old girl was reported. The stenosis was confirmed by direct laryngoscopy and laryngotracheograms performed through the tracheostoma. The excess cartilaginous tissue was removed under a midline incision of the cricoid cartilage (cricoidplasty). Seventeen cases of cricoid stenosis reported since 1960 were studied and the clinical entity was discussed. On the basis of the embryology of the larynx, the mechanism of origin of this malformation was also discussed. Although cricoid stenosis was a fatal malformation before 1968, it is now a curable disease using an emergency tracheostomy and a cricoidplasty.Keywords
