Upper airway obstruction in neonates and infants with CHARGE syndrome

Abstract: Upper airway obstruction can be life-threatening in neonates and infants with CHARGE syndrome, many of whom undergo intratracheal intubation early in life. Although some of these patients are successfully extubated, others require tracheotomy. Deciding whether to complete tracheotomy is challenging since there are no clear criteria upon which to base this decision. We assessed 10 infants with CHARGE syndrome, 5 of whom required tracheotomy. Fiberoptic laryngoscopy showed that all of these patients shared certa… Show more

“…5 In patients with micrognathia, as in CHARGE syndrome and Pierre Robin sequence, a definitive operation, such as mandibular distraction, tongue base reduction, or epiglottopexy, may help to prevent tracheostomy. 13 In the present series, SGP was successful in only 2 of 4 patients with CHARGE syndrome, with 2 of these patients ultimately requiring tracheostomy. Existing reports suggest that patients with Down syndrome do well with SGP in the absence of concomitant cardiac or neurologic diseases.…”
