John PY - 2017 T2 - Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine Manual, 8e AB - The physical sign common to all causes of upper respiratory tract obstruction is stridor. Laryngomalacia, due to a developmentally weak larynx, accounts for 60% of stridor in the neonatal period, but is self-limited and rarely requires treatment. Common causes of stridor in children >6 months of age discussed here include viral croup, epiglottitis, bacterial tracheitis, airway foreign body, retropharyngeal abscess, and peritonsillar abscess.
