Management of Pediatric Foreign Body Injuries during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Results of an International Survey.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had direct and indirect effects on daily life. In hospitals, the impact of the pandemic was observed in the diagnostic and therapeutic workflow. In this work, we explored potential changes in activities related to the treatment of foreign body injuries (FBIs) in children and the behavioral habits of physicians during the first wave of the pandemic.

Pediatric neurofibromatosis of the larynx: report ofatypical location.

Laryngeal neurofibromas (LNFs) are rare benign tumors mainly located in the supraglottis. LNFs occur with airway obstruction symptoms. The treatment is complete resection via an endoscopic technique; the open approach is reserved for large tumors.

Congenital pyriform aperture stenosis: Ten years experience.

Introduction: Congenital nasal pyriform aperture stenosis (CNPAS) is an uncommon malformation and a rare cause of respiratory distress in neonates that may require early surgical intervention. The aim of this study is to report our experience in patients operated for CNPAS and present characteristics of this population.

Material And Methods: A retrospective, analytical cohort study was conducted of patients who underwent surgical treatment for CNPAS in the Hospital de Pediatría Garrahan from May 2008 to May 2018.

Systemic Bevacizumab for Treatment of Respiratory Papillomatosis: International Consensus Statement.

Objectives/hypothesis: The purpose of this study is to develop consensus on key points that would support the use of systemic bevacizumab for the treatment of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP), and to provide preliminary guidance surrounding the use of this treatment modality.

Study Design: Delphi method-based survey series.

Methods: A multidisciplinary, multi-institutional panel of physicians with experience using systemic bevacizumab for the treatment of RRP was established.

Laryngeal sequelae secondary to surgical treatment for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis in children.

Objective: to describe the frequency and predictive factors associated with laryngeal scarring caused by surgical treatment of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) in children.

Introduction: RRP is an important cause of hoarseness and respiratory obstruction in children. The current standard of care for RRP is the systematic and repetitive surgical interventions.

International Pediatric Otolaryngology Group (IPOG): Juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis consensus recommendations.

Objectives: To develop consensus recommendations for the evaluation and management of juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (JORRP) in pediatric patients.

Methods: Expert opinion by the members of the International Pediatric Otolaryngology Group (IPOG). The mission of the IPOG is to develop expertise-based consensus recommendations for the management of pediatric otolaryngologic disorders with the goal of improving patient care.

[Vascular rings. Series of 28 patients of a Pediatrie Respiratory Endoscopy Department].

Vascular rings account for 1 % of the congenital cardiovascular diseases. They constitute an embryological malformation in which the aortic arch, its branches, or the pulmonary arteries cause pressure on the trachea and/or oesophagus. Anatomically, they are divided into two groups -complete or incomplete- depending on how they surround the trachea and/or the oesophagus.

Laryngeal reconstruction in children with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis.

Objetives: To describe our experience in reconstructive laryngeal surgery in patients with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP).

Introduction: RRP is a rare laryngeal disease requiring multiple surgical endoscopic interventions during its course. These interventions may cause secondary lesions that may compromise airway patency.

Paediatric bilateral vocal cord paralysis: our experience.

Unlabelled: Bilateral vocal cord paralysis (BVCP) is the second most common cause of neonatal stridor. The aim of this study was to describe the demographic features, aetiology, comorbidities, and management of our patients with BVCP.

Material And Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of the clinical charts of all patients diagnosed with BVCP seen at the Department of Respiratory Endoscopy between 2011 and 2015.

[Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis. Case report].

Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a rare condition characterized by recurrent growth of papilloma in the respiratory tract. RRP is caused by human papilloma virus. Its incidence is 4 per 100,000 children.

[Diagnosis and treatment of pediatric subglottic stenosis: experience in a tertiary care center].

Subglottic stenosis is among the most common causes of airway obstruction in children, 90% of which resulting from endotracheal intubation. The diagnosis is based on the patient's clinical, radiologic evaluation, flexible laryngoscopy and rigid airway endoscopy under general anesthesia. It must be suspected in children with respiratory distress after extubation.

Complications in children from foreign bodies in the airway.

Introduction And Objectives: Foreign body aspiration in childhood is a common and potentially serious problem. Complications may be the result of the aspiration episode itself, delayed diagnosis or treatment. We describe our experience in a paediatric hospital in Argentina.

[Severe laryngitis associated to gastroesophageal reflux].

There is a strong association between gastroesophageal reflux and pharyngolaryngeal reflux as factors leading to respiratory disease, manifested as dysphonia, wheezing, coughing, recurrent laryngitis, bronchial obstruction, laryngospasm and apparent life-threatening events (ALTEs). These manifestations can be mild or severe and may sometimes put the patient's life at risk. We present two cases of patients with severe laryngitis who required endotracheal intubation, one of which underwent tracheostomy.

Post-intubation subglottic stenosis in children. Diagnosis, treatment and prevention of moderate and severe stenosis.

Introduction And Objectives: Subglottic stenosis is one of the most common causes of upper airway obstruction. Almost 90% of them result from endotracheal intubation. Therapy depends on the degree of stenosis, among other factors.

[Delayed diagnosis of foreign body in the airway in children: case series].

Aspiration of foreign bodies is an important and preventable cause of morbidity and mortality in childhood. The early diagnosis and treatment are essential for risk of mortality in the acute and complications arising from the continuance of a foreign body in the airway. The clinical presentation may mimic different diseases, delaying the correct diagnosis.

[Foreign bodies in esophagus in children: case series].

Ingestion of foreign bodies is an avoidable accident that is seen mainly in children under 3 years-old. Most of them pass through the digestive tract without causing clinical manifestations or complications, but a significant percentage is impacted in the esophagus causing vomiting, sore throat, dysphagia and drooling. The most common foreign bodies are coins.
