title: [Laryngeal obstruction due to familial Recklinghausen's disease].
abstract: A case of familial multiple neurofibromatosis with laryngeal involvement is described. The patient required surgical treatment because of rapid tumour growth associated with dyspnoea, dysphonia and dysphagia. Whereas the extensive growth prevented entire removal of all tumour lumps, endolaryngeal microsurgery resulted in an important improvement of laryngeal symptoms and of the quality of life.
