OBS

Flaccidity of the epiglottis and aryepiglottic folds, as in congenital laryngeal stridor.

OBS

(Deletion of half the short arm of 5 (Cri du chat syndrome)) This latter sign, extremely typical in the first month of life, seems to be related to a supraglottal hypoplasia with laryngomalacia.

OBS

The "Dictionnaire de médecine" (Flammarion) mentions "congenital stridor" as [a] translation for "laryngomalacie". In fact, it is a looseness. According to French authors chronic (or congenital) stridors of the new-born are subdivided into tracheal and laryngeal stridors, and 60% of the cases of laryngeal stridors are known as laryngomalacia.

OBS

(Délétion du bras court de l'autosome 8) Cette laryngomalacie serait la cause du curieux stridor de ces petits patients.
