[Sonography of the larynx in children. New perspectives due to the use of computerized sonography: 2: Sonographic findings in a case of laryngeal papillomatosis].
On our opinion one important indication for sonographic diagnosis in future are masses in the larynx area: in infancy or childhood mainly laryngeal papillomatosis. In one of our boy patients with massive laryngeal papillomatosis laser surgery was first performed at 15 months of age. After a second and third procedure interferon-therapy was begun. Sonographically it was easily possible to follow the course in control examinations. Sonographic findings correlated well with laryngoscopic findings. Laryngoscopy could therefore be limited to a minimum.
