[Two cases of unknown aetiology oedema-hypertrophy changes in the larynx].
We have described two cases of oedema and hypertrophic changes of the larynx which cause remains unknown. We have shown in our paper diagnostic difficulties connected with these cases. A brief review of the literature is presented. The oedema and hypertrophic changes might be connected with inhalations of marijuana smoke.
