Subglottic edema in acute epiglottitis in children

Citation: American Journal of Roentgenology. 1978;131: 603-605. 10.2214/ajr.131.4.603

ABSTRACT :

Analysis of airway radiographs of 20 children with proven acute epiglottitis revealed that five (25%) had, in addition to supraglottic edema, localized subglottic edema radiographically indistinguishable from that seen in croup. In all five patients the etiologic organism was Hemophilus influenzae type B.
