Airway disorders include a wide variety of conditions that affect a child’s breathing passages. The airway is made up of structures called the larynx (voice box), pharynx (the back of the mouth and nose), trachea (windpipe) and bronchi (lung passages). The Airway Disorders Program in the division of Pediatric Otolaryngology (ENT) at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital offers a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosing and treating airway disorders.
The Division of Pediatric Otolaryngology at the University of Michigan C.S. Mott Childrens Hospital is one of a few comprehensive centers in the United States with dedicated pediatric otolaryngology specialists on staff and on call 24/7, providing complete multidisciplinary medical and surgical care for common procedure as well as rare conditions.
Head and neck masses may occur from a variety of causes, including infection (such as enlarged lymph nodes), congenital cysts or masses that formed during development, or tumors. At C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital, our pediatric otolaryngology (ENT) team offers comprehensive diagnostic and treatment capabilities for children with head and neck masses.
