Case ReportsLaryngeal stenosis following papillomatosis--a report of three severe cases.
Three cases of severe laryngeal papillomatosis beginning in early childhood are presented. Several methods of treatment were tried, but lasting results were achieved by suction diathermy. The laryngeal lumen was totally obliterated in all cases during the course of the disease. ⋯ All patients were successfully decannulated. The results of treatment are evaluated both clinically and by ventilatory function studies. Central airway obstruction persisted in two cases.
