Abstract

Stridor remains a common symptom that prompts a thorough investigation in the infant and pediatric population. Defined as a high-pitched sound emitting from the upper airway, the noise may be indicative of something more worrisome. The astute clinician should be inclined to find the root cause of stridor to provide adequate treatment. We review the most common entities related to infant and pediatric stridor and current treatment and management strategies.
