Abstract

Acquired laryngomalacia in the pediatric population is rare, especially from a neurogenic cause. This case report describes a pediatric patient who developed laryngomalacia following a neurologic insult. A proposed physiologic pathway is reviewed. A thorough literature review was performed to identify cases of acquired laryngomalacia ascribed to a neurologic cause and are compared to this case.
