The results were presented at the American Broncho-Esophagology Association meeting in April 1999. The survey instrument is now ready for a prospective trial. Comprehensive Management of Children with Cleft Lip, Cleft Palate, or Craniofacial Anomalies Current Therapy for Congenital Laryngeal Webs Congenital laryngeal webs are rare malformations of an infant's larynx that can produce stridor, abnormal voice, lack of cry, or apnea. These webs vary in severity. Webs may be associated with other medical problems.
Treatment requires surgery.
Dr. Milczuk recently reviewed the experience with congenital laryngeal webs at OHSU over the past 12 years. Currently, the otologic care of patients enrolled in the CDRC Craniofacial Disorders Clinic is being reviewed. This therapy has been available in Japan for several years. Retrospective reports have indicated good success using OK-432 sclerotherapy for certain lymphatic malformations. This trial is designed to prospectively evaluate efficacy and determine which malformations are best treated using this modality.
