Conclusions
“Laryngeal Cleft Type 1 can be effectively managed with a combination of injection augmentation (IA) and endoscopic repair (ER) with favorable results. Failure to respond to IA does not preclude ER, and both have their role in management. Patients who are tube fed have a higher probability of treatment failure. We propose a management algorithm that includes reasoning for conservative approaches, and reduces exposure to general anesthesia.”
