The 52 patients are 27 men and 25 women aged 10 months to 65 years. 40 patients (77%) are less than 15 years and present with the juvenile form of laryngeal papillomatosis. Clinically, all the patients have dysphonia and 30% of them complain of dyspnoea. Less frequent symptoms are cough, foreign body sensation in the throat, dysphagia. Endoscopic and histologic aspects of the disease are those classically described.
