Some newborns are born with an airway passage so narrow that breathing on their own isn't possible
This condition is called subglottic stenosis, a narrowing just below the vocal cords, present from birth in its most complex form.
In the most severe cases, the passage is completely closed, and the baby depends entirely on a breathing tube.
Reconstructing an airway this small, in a patient this young, is one of the most technically demanding procedures in ENT surgery; every millimetre matters.
With the right surgical approach, many of these babies go on to breathe, feed, and grow normally.
This is why early diagnosis and a specialist evaluation make such a critical difference
If your child has ongoing breathing difficulty that hasn't been fully explained, a specialist evaluation matters. Call 8115992101 or visit Dr. Nishant Singh ENT Clinic, Sharda Nagar at evening & Regency Hospital, Sarvodaya Nagar, at morning
