Radiological findings in lipoid proteinosis.
The radiological findings in six patients suffering from lipoid proteinosis have been described and discussed. Laryngeal examination showed thickened epiglottis, swollen arytenoids and aryepiglottic folds, thickened irregular false and true vocal cords, and increased stiffness of the vocal cords. The ventricles and subglottic region were free. Bean-shaped suprasellar calcifications were found in two cases who were free of neurological symptoms. The chest and upper gastro-intestinal tract were radiologically free.
