[Vascularization of the laryngeal cartilages; true clinical importance (author's transl)].
The authors specify the role of the ossification process of the larynx cartilages. Only the epiglottis may be considered as a cartilage. The use of microangiography made it possible to describe some peculiar features of the microvascular pattern. The vascular patterns of the thyroid, cricoid and arithenoids cartilages are similar to one another; the cartilage and its two perichondriums must be considered as a complete whole. The epiglottis shows a peculiar vascular pattern. The authors insist upon the important role of the vascular pattern in pathologic studies.
