Emergency Medicine: Pediatrics 221 Pediatric Croup Diagnostic Approach

Croup is a clinical diagnosis based on the typical presentation of barking cough, stridor, and hoarseness. Imaging is not required unless there is an atypical presentation or clinical course. In some cases, a neck radiograph may be done which can show the classic subglottic narrowing or “steeple sign”. However, radiographs do not correlate well with disease severity.
