About
Dr. Luca Cerritelli is a leading figure in pediatric otolaryngology, whose work has fundamentally advanced our understanding of the relationship between congenital airway anomalies and sleep-disordered breathing. His primary research focuses on the intricate pathophysiology and clinical management of laryngomalacia and its strong association with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in children. Dr. Cerritelli’s major contribution is his comprehensive synthesis of the diagnostic and therapeutic landscape for this vulnerable patient population. His highly cited 2024 review, "Laryngomalacia and Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Children: From Diagnosis to Treatment," has already garnered significant attention, establishing itself as a critical resource for clinicians. In this seminal work, he masterfully analyzes the epidemiology of the condition, evaluates the efficacy of diagnostic tools from flexible laryngoscopy to polysomnography, and outlines the spectrum of treatments, from conservative management to supraglottoplasty. By clarifying the complex interplay between a malacic larynx and airway obstruction during sleep, Dr. Cerritelli has provided a clear, evidence-based roadmap that is directly shaping clinical protocols and improving surgical outcomes for children worldwide.
