Laryngomalacia, characterized by the malacic consistency of the epiglottis with a tendency to collapse during inspiratory acts, producing a characteristic noise known as stridor, is a common condition in infants and particularly in those affected by prematurity, genetic diseases, craniofacial anomalies, and neurological problems. Congenital laryngomalacia, presenting with stridor within the first 15 days of life, is often self-limiting and tends to resolve by 24 months. OSA is not only a consequence of laryngomalacia but also exacerbates and perpetuates the condition. Currently, the treatments reported in the literature are based (i) on medical therapies (including watchful waiting) and (ii) on surgical treatments. Among the surgical techniques, the most described is supraglottoplasty, performed with the use of cold instruments, CO2 LASER, transoral robotic surgery, or the microdebrider.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children11030284","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,26]],"date-time":"2024-02-26T07:51:39Z","timestamp":1708933899000},"page":"284","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Laryngomalacia and Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Children: From Diagnosis to Treatment"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Luca","family":"Cerritelli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ENT & Audiology Unit, Department of Neurosciences, University Hospital of Ferrara, 44100 Ferrara, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-8980-3877","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrea","family":"Migliorelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ENT & Audiology Unit, Department of Neurosciences, University Hospital of Ferrara, 44100 Ferrara, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alessio","family":"Larini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ENT & Audiology Unit, Department of Neurosciences, University Hospital of Ferrara, 44100 Ferrara, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Catalano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ENT & Audiology Unit, Department of Neurosciences, University Hospital of Ferrara, 44100 Ferrara, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alberto","family":"Caranti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ENT & Audiology Unit, Department of Neurosciences, University Hospital of Ferrara, 44100 Ferrara, Italy"},{"name":"Gruppo Otorinolaringoiatrico della Romagna, Primus Medical Center (GVM), Via Punta di Ferro, 2\/c, 47122 Forl\u00ec, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5115-6107","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chiara","family":"Bianchini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ENT & Audiology Unit, Department of Neurosciences, University Hospital of Ferrara, 44100 Ferrara, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3455-2295","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrea","family":"Ciorba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ENT & Audiology Unit, Department of Neurosciences, University Hospital of Ferrara, 44100 Ferrara, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Stomeo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ENT & Audiology Unit, Department of Neurosciences, University Hospital of Ferrara, 44100 Ferrara, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claudio","family":"Vicini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gruppo Otorinolaringoiatrico della Romagna, Primus Medical Center (GVM), Via Punta di Ferro, 2\/c, 47122 Forl\u00ec, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stefano","family":"Pelucchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ENT & Audiology Unit, Department of Neurosciences, University Hospital of Ferrara, 44100 Ferrara, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"31","DOI":"10.1016\/S0165-5876(01)00541-9","article-title":"Histological insight into the pathogenesis of severe laryngomalacia","volume":"61","author":"Chandra","year":"2001","journal-title":"Int.
