Ayazi syndrome
Ayazi Syndrome
Ayazi Syndrome (pronounced: ay-ah-zee sin-drome) is a rare medical condition characterized by a combination of symptoms that typically include gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), laryngomalacia, and esophageal atresia.
Etymology
The syndrome is named after Dr. Shahriar Ayazi, the physician who first described the condition in medical literature. The term "syndrome" is derived from the Greek word "syndromē", which means "concurrence of symptoms" or "running together".
Symptoms
The primary symptoms of Ayazi Syndrome include:
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): This is a chronic condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the tube connecting the mouth and stomach (esophagus). This backwash (acid reflux) can irritate the lining of the esophagus.
- Laryngomalacia: This is a congenital softening of the tissues of the larynx (voice box) above the vocal cords. It is the most common cause of noisy breathing (stridor) in infants and children.
- Esophageal atresia: This is a congenital medical condition that affects the alimentary tract. It causes the esophagus to end in a blind-ended pouch rather than connecting normally to the stomach.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of Ayazi Syndrome is typically based on the presence of the characteristic signs and symptoms. Additional tests may be necessary to confirm the diagnosis, such as endoscopy, laryngoscopy, and barium swallow.
Treatment
Treatment for Ayazi Syndrome is symptomatic and supportive. This may include medications to manage GERD, surgery to correct esophageal atresia, and therapies to manage symptoms of laryngomalacia.
