Abstract
The authors present the case of a 5-year-old girl referred to our institution due to several episodes of nocturnal stridor with ocular retroversion and parental notion of apnea. She has been previously submitted to adenotonsillectomy. Due to symptoms worsening she was referred to our hospital. Here, a nasal fiberoptic endoscopy evaluation was conducted and a diagnosis of laryngomalacia was done. The was submitted to CO2 laser ariepiglotoplasty with symptom improvement after surgery. During a follow-up appointment, parents reported self-limited clonic facial movements at sleep onset. The electroencephalogram (EEG) was compatible with benign childhood epileptiform discharges.
