Abstract
Structural upper and lower airway disorders and parenchymal disorders are uncommon in pediatric practice, but many pediatricians will encounter them and be responsible for the ongoing care of these patients. Pediatricians need to be cognizant of these diagnoses because, even though management of these disorders generally lacks an evidence base, existing principles of good care surrounding accurate diagnosis, classifications of severity, judicious use of investigations, medication, and surgical approaches are essential to good outcomes.
