[Ultrasonic disintegration of laryngeal papilloma in children].

As of today, 238 children with laryngeal papillomas were treated by ultrasonic disintegration in the ENT Department of the Moscow District Research Clinical Institute and in the ENT Department of the Rostov District Clinical Hospital. The children varied from 5 months to 14 years of age. A commercial apparatus LORA-DON was used. Immediate and remote effects of ultrasonic disintegration were quite satisfactory. During the last 8 years none of the treated patients underwent tracheotomy. The number of relapses decreased two times in the Moscow clinic and four times in the Rostov clinic.

[Hemangioma of the larynx in children].

Hemangiomas were diagnozed in 11 patients (4.6%) out of 235 children with chronic laryngeal stenoses of various etiology. The most frequent symptom was hoarse voice. The children examined were not older than 5 months. In 5 patients, laryngeal hemangiomas were associated with hemangiomas of other body compartments--most frequently on the skin of the face, neck or upper chest. Out of the 11 laryngeal hemangiomas 6 were located below vocal folds, 4 on gastric and aryepiglottic folds and only 1 on vocal folds. The first line method of treatment was cryosurgery. Local freezing was performed on 6 patients. They all were decannulated within 2 to 4 months after intervention. There children with disseminated hemangiomas of the face, neck and upper chest were exposed to radiotherapy. A year after, two of them were decannulated and the third one developed a postradiation scar below vocal cords. In 2 children when they were 2 or 3 years of age, laryngeal hemangiomas disappeared spontaneously without any treatment.

[Current aspects and prospects of the combined treatment of respiratory papillomatosis in children].

Treatment methods and outcomes have been analyzed for 313 children aged 9 months-14 years with respiratory papillomatosis (RP) admitted to ENT clinic in 1950-1995. Beginning from 1982 papillomas were removed by means of ultrasonic disintegration. A novel approach included extracorporeal detoxication and immunocorrection. 85% of patients responded to treatment with discrete plasmapheresis and T-activin. It is concluded that best treatment results were achieved in combination of conventional methods with advanced modalities such as extracorporeal detoxication and immunocorrection.
