Abstract
Airway obstruction is one of the most common life-threatening conditions among newborns and presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to the neonatologist. Successfully distinguishing between the many potential airway lesions will lead to a more rapid and efficient evaluation and enhance patient outcomes. This review addresses each anatomic level of potential upper airway compromise, highlighting appropriate studies to determine the diagnosis and outline the necessary treatments.
