Choanal atresia
Neonatal emergencies
Neonates :-- from birth to 28 days Neonates are obligatory nasal breathers
during the first 3-5 months of life. Bilateral choanal atresia present at birth
with respiratory distress. Unilateral cases may present with
unilateral rhinorrhea or nasal obstruction.

Bilateral Choanal atresia
Neonatal emergencies
Presentation :-
Cyclical cyanosis that improves with crying and worsens with feeding.
Failure to pass small catheter through choana is diagnostic
Sometimes it is associated with other congenital malformations , ( CHARGE )

Bilateral Choanal Atresia
Bilateral Choanal Atresia in Neonate is treated on EMERGENT basis.
Airway is maintained by insertion of an oral Airway to break the seal formed by Tongue against the Palate. This oral Airway can be tolerated for several weeks.
![Page 7: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Dr. Naim Manhas 7
Bilateral Choanal Atresia The McGovern Nipple- with enlarged
hole through which neonate can breath as well as feed.
Intubation / tracheotomy.

surgical correction
Previously it was known that Choanal atresia was 90% membranous and 10% bony so perforation was carried out transnasally under direct vision.
Stents are placed for 2-6 weeks o prevent re-stenosis.
50-85% success rates and failure results when choanae become obliterated by granulation tissue.
![Page 9: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Dr. Naim Manhas 9
surgical correction
Recent advances :- choanal atresia is composed of 29% of bony element and 71% of mixed membranous and bony elements.
The best modality is Laser therapy using carbon dioxide /YAG/KTP.
Less incidence of re-stenosis.

Infants Subglottc hemangioma / Airway
Infantile Hemangioma. Typically unilateral, can be
circumferential. Hemangiomas progress from an intial
Proliferative phase to Involutional phase.
![Page 12: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Dr. Naim Manhas 12
Sub-glottic hemangioma Proliferative phase starts soon after birth
and usually continues for 12 months, after which gradual involution ocurs over a period of years and resolve by the age of 5.
80-90% will present by the age of 6 months.
![Page 13: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Dr. Naim Manhas 13
Presentation
Lesion is small , inspiratory stridor is intermittently present.
Symptoms are excebratated by upper respiratory tract infection which may lead to initial diagnosis of Laryngotracheobronchitis.
Lesion enlarges, the stridor becomes biphasic and leads to dysnoea and cyanosis occur.
![Page 14: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Investigations Sagittal computed
tomography image with contrast :-
Showing contrast enhancing Airway Infantile Hemangioma in posterior glottis
![Page 15: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Dr. Naim Manhas 15
Investigations Confirmation of the
diagnosis is by Endoscopic Examination.
Typical finding :- Unilateral Sessile, submucosal compressible vascular lesion in the subglottis.
![Page 16: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Dr. Naim Manhas 16
Treatment
Goals of treatment :- Overcome the Airway obstruction Avoidance of long standing
complications like subglottic stenosis.
![Page 17: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Dr. Naim Manhas 17
Treatment
Medical therapy / Surgical therapy There are no standardized evaluation
protocols for Airway Infantile Hemangiomas , leading to broad variations in management.
![Page 18: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Dr. Naim Manhas 18
Medical therapy Steroids :- Intralesional and systemically Help in accelerating the involution of
hemangiomas ( mechanism of action is not known – hypothetically by Estrogen receptor blockade)
Systemically :- prolonged period growth retardation hypertension cushingoid syndrome
![Page 19: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Dr. Naim Manhas 19
Intra-Lesional injections Multiple injections
Local oedma
Airway compromise
Prolonged intubation
![Page 20: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Dr. Naim Manhas 20
Intra-Lesional injections Interferon :- Antiangiogenic activity in proliferative
phase Rebound effect Prolonged period can lead to
development of spastic diplegia
![Page 21: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Dr. Naim Manhas 21
surgical therapy
Laser therapy :- Carbon diaoxide and KTP ( potassium
titanyl phosphate) lasers are beneficial with only 25% incidence of subglottic stenosis.
![Page 22: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Dr. Naim Manhas 22
Surgical therapy
Open excision:- Previously was reserved for most severe
cases which did not respond to conventional method.
Development of single stage laryngotracheoplasty has become widely accepted because of less incidence of subglottic stenosis and avoidance of tracheotomy.
![Page 23: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Dr. Naim Manhas 23
Recent advances Introduction of non-selective B-blocker
Propanlol as effective in cutaneous hemangiomas . ( incidental findings in 2008)
Case reports:- Propanlol use in AIH has led to dramatic
reduction in lesion size and airway obstruction .
Dose:- 2-3 mg/Kg/day Side effects on cardiovascular and
respiratory systems.
![Page 24: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Foreign Bodies Foreign bodies
ingestion is common in children.
They are mainly benign, in the absence of complications, do not represent surgical emergency except disc batteries.
![Page 26: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Dr. Naim Manhas 26
Disc -ion batteries LITHIUM ION DISC
BATTERY :- The incidence of
ingestion of these batteries has increased since the increase in household devices run on these batteries.
![Page 27: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Dr. Naim Manhas 27
Disc- ion batteries
Lithium ion disc battery generate a voltage even in discharged state which lead to rapid local injury, leakage of corrosive alkaline electrode results in hydrolysis of tissue and mucosal erosion.
![Page 28: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Dr. Naim Manhas 28
time of action
The window of opportunity for injury free removal of an esophageal battery is less than 2 hours.
Delay in removal will lead to complication ranging from local mucosal erosion to perforation.
![Page 29: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Inhaled Foreign Bodies Airway foreign bodies are
always managed on Emergent basis.
The initial symptoms and signs of laryngeal / Bronchial foreign body can be severe, including cyanosis, respiratory distress and even respiratory arrest.
![Page 30: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Dr. Naim Manhas 30
Investigation Radio opaque foreign body
is easily diagnosed on by radiology.
Other foreign bodies like peanut, vegetable seed which can not be visualized on X-Ray film, will present with localized atelectasis or infiltrate or by unilateral hyperinflation or by mediastinal shift.
![Page 31: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Dr. Naim Manhas 31
Partially occluding bronchial foreign body acts as a Ball-Valve causing hyper- expansion of the affected lung.
If Bronchial occlusion occurs, then total or partial lung collapse occur.
In children with chronic cough, wheezing who do not appear to respond to appropriate treatment, the presence of a foreign body should be suspected.
![Page 32: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Dr. Naim Manhas 32
Supraglottitis (epiglottitis) 2-6 years of age Rare infection,
awareness of the disease is important due to its high mortality if not promptly diagnosed and treated.
Rapidly progressive condition and usually caused by Haemophilius influnzae Type B
![Page 33: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Dr. Naim Manhas 33
Supraglottitis (epiglottitis) Start as URTI and within
hours the condition worsens. Severe odynophagia with
drooling of saliva. Child becomes irritable and
usually leans forward. Voice is muffled Later on inspiratory stridor
occurs.
![Page 34: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Dr. Naim Manhas 34
Diagnostic Tool Once supraglottitis is
suspected then further procedure should not be undertaken including intraoral examination as it will induce anxiety which can lead to complete airway obstruction.
Plain X-ray film of lateral neck is taken shows swollen epiglottis (Thumb Print)
Exclude foreign body and retropharyngeal abscess.
![Page 35: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Dr. Naim Manhas 35
Management
Examination of the child is done in O.R. where facility for intubation and tracheotomy is kept at hand.
Once the airway is secured by intubation then the investigations like blood culture, swab from supraglottis is obtained and I/V canula inserted.
Parental antibiotics is started
![Page 36: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Dr. Naim Manhas 36
Unresolving acute otitis media
Acute mastoiditis:- Failure of resolution of AOM Development of oedma and
erythema of post-auricular soft tissues with loss of post auricular crease.
Pinna gets displaced anterioinferiorly
![Page 37: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Dr. Naim Manhas 37
Mastoid Abscess If subperiosteal abscess
develops then fluctuation can be elicited.
Confirmation and assessment is done by Radiological C.T. scan.
Extent of the opacification of the mastoid air cells and development of any subperiosteal abscess is confirmed.
![Page 38: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Dr. Naim Manhas 38
Management
Acute mastoiditis without clinical and radiological indication of a subperiosteal abscess then high dose of parental antibiotics are given and child is monitored for 24 hours. In case of improvement then no surgical intervention is done.
If there is no evidence of resolution and symptoms progress then cortical mastoidectomy along with myringotomy is done .
![Page 39: otolaryngological emergencies in neonate,infant and child](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062614/547ad742b4af9fb25f8b458d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Dr. Naim Manhas 39
Management In case of clinically established case of
subperiosteal abscess , then surgery along with parental antibiotics become first line of treatment.
Subacute or Masked Mastoiditis occur when inadequate treatment of AOM is carried out. Child present with mild mastoiditis but persistent in course. These cases resolve by myringtomy with ventilation of middle ear and appropriate antibiotics.
