title: Gastric heterotopia causing airway obstruction.
abstract: Two infants are reported each with a mass of heterotopic gastric tissue in the hypopharynx causing airway obstruction. Endoscopic laser removal of the tumours proved a satisfactory method of treatment. Gastric heterotopia in the head and neck region is rare but should be considered as a cause of stridor in infants.
