- Abstract
Stridor is an important symptom which should not be missed, especially in a child. The etiology could be multifactorial and will require a comprehensive investigation into its management. In this case, we discuss the clinician's dilemma in reaching a diagnosis due to various factors which were present in a single patient. This rare benign laryngeal squamous polyp was eventually diagnosed in an 11-week-old boy who presented with acute stridor. The diagnostic dilemma we discuss in this case was due to multiple maternal and fetal factors. He was a premature baby, intubated at birth, there was a maternal tuberculosis infection and he also had a cutaneous hemangioma which were all part of the diagnostic dilemma faced in his management which eventually led to an acquired subglottic stenosis. Our discussion will focus on how a thorough and proper evaluation is needed especially when there are many deceptive clues or signs present in a patient.
