Tracheotomy and nasogastric tube insertion were not performed during the
treatment. The patient was able to eat orally without choking the first
day after surgery, and the symptom of dyspnea was significantly
improved. Laryngoscopy showed no recurrence of pharyngeal stenosis 3
weeks after operation (Fig 3). At follow-up six months after the
surgery, his parents reported that breathing problems had disappeared
and slurred speech had improved.
