Fatal maternal laryngeal papillomatosis in pregnancy: a case report [corrected].
Although genital condylomata worsen with pregnancy, we are unaware of any reports of fatal maternal laryngeal papillomatosis. A maternal death at 20 weeks' gestation of a patient with chronic laryngeal papillomatosis is described. Pregnant patients with a history of this disorder who have symptoms should be considered candidates for immediate evaluation.
