Laryngomalacia

Laryngomalacia is a congenital condition characterized by presence of abnormal laryngeal cartilage also called soft larynx. The condition presents with low-pitched inspiratory stridor that is exacerbated by exertion. This condition is self-limiting and resolves spontaneously as the child grow. Laryngoscopy will reveal omega shaped epiglottis. Picture credit: https://healthjade.com/laryngomalacia/
