[Characteristics of psychoemotional sphere in children with chronic laryngeal obstruction].
45 children from 10 to 14 years of age with chronic laryngeal obstruction were examined psychologically. 29 of them had recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, 16 ones had cicatrical laryngostenosis. The majority of the examinees (65%) showed symptoms of posttraumatic stress syndrome (PTSS). The children develop PTSS one-two years after onset of laryngeal obstruction. Later, the children underwent persistent specific maladaptation personality disorders. Thus, children with recurrent laryngeal papillomatosis, especially with cicatrical laryngostenosis, should undergo psychological correction.
