Stridor can also result when a child has swallowed an object that has lodged in the throat or as a side effect of a malfunctioning shunt, a device placed in a child’s head to treat hydrocephalus. In extreme or emergency cases, a tracheostomy, an operation in which a breathing pipe is inserted into the windpipe externally, may be needed.Abnormal breathing sound, usually heard on inspiration, occurring when the trachea or larynx is obstructed (e.g., by neoplasm or by inflammation).An abnormally high-pitched sound during inspiration due to the constriction or narrowing of the larynx or trachea.shrill wheezing and noisy, hoarse breathing that is most common in young children with a respiratory infection. Stridor occurs when their upper airways narrow, usually due to swelling and an increase in mucus from a respiratory tract infection. (However, narrowing can also occur without stridor.) Very often, the cause of stridor is croup, an inflammation of the larynx and trachea that makes breathing noisy and difficult.The noise heard on breathing in when the trachea or larynx is obstructed. It tends to be louder and harsher than wheeze.A high-pitched, harsh sound occurring during inspiration, often heard without the use of a stethoscope. It is a sign of upper airway obstruction, which may indicate the presence of a life-threatening condition (e.g., epiglottitis). The lack of stridor should never be interpreted as a sign that the upper airway is patent in the patient with signs of having difficulty breathing.Stridor refers to a harsh or crowing sound that occurs during breathing, resulting from a partial blockage of the patient's upper airway.An unusual noise during breathing, caused by the constriction or blockage of the larynx or trachea, is referred to as stridor. This condition is more frequently observed in young children and is commonly associated with croup. Additional factors leading to stridor include epiglottitis, the inhalation of a foreign object, low levels of calcium in the blood, and specific larynx-related disorders.A rough, buzzing noise made during breathing out under specific circumstances.
