Recurrent Cyanotic Attacks due to Unilateral Upper Airway Obstruction in Infants

Abstract

Two infants presented with recurrent brief cyanotic attacks and had uni lateral nasal discharge. Both were poor feeders. The triad—transient cyanotic attacks, poor feeding and unilateral nasal discharge—points to unilateral upper airway obstruction. When the obstruction was relieved, the symptoms disappeared.
