Successful Treatment of Severe Laryngomalacia by Correction of Glosso-Larynx (CGL): A Case Report

Laryngomalacia is the most common cause of inspiratory stridor in infancy. While most mild cases resolve spontaneously, severe cases may require surgical intervention. We report a case of severe laryngomalacia successfully treated with correction of glosso-larynx (CGL), a surgical procedure originally developed for ankyloglossia with deviation of the epiglottis and larynx (ADEL). The patient showed rapid and sustained improvement without major complications. This case suggests that CGL may represent a simple and minimally invasive therapeutic option for selected cases of severe laryngomalacia.
