title: [Laryngeal papillomatosis in children: therapeutic problems apropos of 39 cases at the Lomé University Hospital Center].
abstract: The retrospective study about 39 cases of laryngeal papillomatosis emphasizes the management difficulties due to slenderness of therapeutical resources, delayed consultations because of health under education of the community and patients' discouragement during treatment of such a relapsing disease. Consequently, tracheostomy was needed immediately (25.64%), breaking of the voice (48.72%) was noted as well as school backwardness. The use of laser and interferon in laryngeal papillomatosis treatment is for the future in Togo.
