| laryngostasis | More commonly known as croup. An infection of the larynx, trachea, and the bronchial tubes, largely in children. Caused usually by viruses, less often by bacteria. Symptoms include a cough that sounds like a barking seal and a harsh crowing sound during inhaling. Treatment can include moist air, salt water nose drops, decongestants and cough suppressants, pain medication, fluids, and occasionally antibiotics. The major concern in croup is breathing difficulty as the air passages narrow. Close monitoring of the breathing of a child with croup is important, especially at night. While most children recover from croup without hospitalization, some children can develop life-threatening breathing difficulties. Therefore, close contact with the doctor during this illness is important. (12 Dec 1998) |
| laryngostenosis | Stricture or narrowing of the larynx. This condition may be developmental or acquired; with progressive respiratory difficulty as a symptom. (12 Dec 1998) |

| laryngotomy | <surgery> The operation of cutting into the larynx, from the outside of the neck, for assisting respiration when obstructed, or for removing foreign bodies. Origin: Gr.,, the larynx + to cut: cf. F. Laryngotomie. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| laryngotracheal diphtheria | Diphtheria affecting the larynx, usually with asphyxiation due to obstruction of the airway by the membrane that forms, with fatal outcome. Synonym: laryngotracheal diphtheria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| laryngotracheal diverticulum | A diverticulum from the floor of the caudal end of the pharynx which gives rise to the epithelium and glands of the larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs. Once this diverticulum separates from the foregut, it is referred to as a tube. (05 Mar 2000) |
| laryngotracheal groove | The depression in the floor of the caudal end of the pharynx, continued downward on the ventral wall of the foregut; from it are developed the lower part of the larynx and the trachea, bronchi, and lungs. Synonym: tracheobronchial groove. (05 Mar 2000) |
| laryngotracheitis | Inflammation of both larynx and trachea. Avian infectious laryngotracheitis, a severe, specific, infectious disease of chickens and other birds, caused by avian herpesvirus 1; manifested by severe haemorrhagic inflammation of the trachea and upper air passages. (05 Mar 2000) |
| laryngotracheobronchitis | <pathology> A viral disease, often caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which results upper respiratory symptoms such as a runny nose and a barky (seal-like) cough. Episodic difficulty in breathing can be quite dramatic in some cases. Attacks of croup are manifest by a loud noise when the individual inhales, known as stridor. In most cases, breathing humidified air (for example steamy bathroom) clears the symptoms of acute croup. Treatment is generally conservative with a vaporizer and fever control. (27 Sep 1997) |
| laryngotracheotomy | <surgery> The operation of cutting into the larynx and the upper part of the trachea, a frequent operation for obstruction to breathing. Origin: Larynx + tracheotomy. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
