Abstract
Causes for airways obstruction in infants and children vary considerab ly from those encountered in adult populations. The recent disseminati on of rapid CT scan (helical and electron beam) has changed the diagno stic imaging approach in children with suspected airways obstruction. Fast CT scan not only detects the location of obstruction with high se nsitivity but also frequently provides clues to specific pathologic di agnoses.
