We described a case of apnea secondary to laryngomalacia in a two-months-age infant. He presented with paradoxical breathing with stridor. After being treated with laser aryepiglottoplasty his syptoms disappeared completely. This very simple and safe treatment modality is not commonly used in pediatrics departments and we want to emphasize its success in laryngomalacia cases.

Laringomasiye bağlı apne nedeniyle başvuran iki aylık infant sunulmaktadır. Hastaneye başvuruda stridor ile beraber parodoksal solunumu olan hastanın laser ariepiglottiplasti ile tedavi sonrasında şikayetlerinde tam düzelme izlendi. Bu yöntem basit ve güvenilir bir tedavi şeklidir ancak pediatristler tarafından çok bilinmemektedir. Bu nedenle sunulup, dikkati çekmek amaçlanmıştır.
