Abstract
A new-born boy with severe stridor was found to have a laryngeal hamartoma. The airway was secured by means of a tracheostomy, and the hamartoma was subtotally resected endoscopically using a carbon dioxide laser. A good functional result was achieved, even though decannulation was delayed until the age of 33 months. This is the ninth known case of hamartoma of the larynx and the sixth presenting with stridor in the neonatal period.Keywords
