Abstract

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways which is characterized by recurrent episodes of airway obstruction, associated with airway hyper responsiveness that leads to symptoms of dyspnea, wheezing, chest tightness, and/or coughing. Omega shaped epiglottis is a type of laryngomalacia which is a result of curling on itself of the epiglottis because of shortened aryepiglottic folds.
