[Idiopathic laryngotracheobronchial calcifications in children. Apropos of 2 cases].
Calcifications of cartilage in the larynx, trachea and bronchi are rare in children. Two cases reported and listed with 5 similar cases of the literature. Such calcifications are generally discovered in young children and congenital stridor is commonly associated with. Calcifications of bronchi are not present in every case. The blood calcium is normal. Laryngoscopic examination shows in two cases a laryngeal stiffness. The prognosis is good. In two cases, one of the parents of under 40 years old, also had calcifications of the trachea and of the bronchi.
