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.  Other  etiologies  including  Ludwig's  angina  and  oropharyngeal  trauma  are  covered  in  Chapter  153.
