"
09/01/2009 - "Medical and feeding therapy should be the first modality of treatment in patients with laryngeal cleft type I and type II. Factors supporting surgical repair include: 1) clinically apparent aspiration with feeding, 2) severity of pulmonary status, 3) findings on modified barium swallow and chest x-ray, 4) absence of significant comorbid conditions predisposing to aspiration, 5) findings on upper aerodigestive endoscopy, and 6) poor response to medical management and feeding therapy."

08/01/2017 - "The FSIS was administered to the caregivers of 35 children (19 male, 16 female; age range: 5-79 months) who aspirate secondary to known laryngeal cleft (diagnosed by suspension laryngoscopy and inspection). "
12/01/2006 - "We propose a functional diagnostic and management algorithm that includes MBS, FEES, suspension laryngoscopy with bimanual interarytenoid palpation, and a trial of conservative therapy, as a way to diagnose and manage type 1 laryngeal cleft prior to consideration of surgical repair.

08/01/2017 - "Moreover, as another test to convergent validity, for children who underwent either unsuccessful conservative treatment (and subsequently went on to need surgery) or who were not successfully surgically treated for their laryngeal cleft and demonstrated no significant improvement at the one year mark (as defined by a VFSS documented decreased need for thickener by at least one consistency or more), the caregivers reported no significant differences in FSIS scores cleft repair (mean FSIS scores 2.8(SD 0.79)/2.5(SD 0.88); p = 0.69). "
