Some aspects of fetal laryngeal development.
Some aspects of morphological and physiological development of the fetal larynx are presented. Histochemical confirmation and determinations of fetal glandular activity are needed. Anomalous development of the larynx is still conjecture, but congenital cystic formation with glandular development appears possible after the fifth month of human fetal life.
Pulmonary migraine.
Although it is not uncommon in bronchoesophagological practice to be consulted in cases of unexplained atelectasis, patients presenting with painful atelectasis are indeed rare. Three such cases will be described. The first case, previously unreported, for which Dr. M. E. Avery suggested the term "pulmonary migraine" is that of a 14-year-old Caucasian female with a history of recurrent "asthma" chest pain, atelectasis and migraine headache. On investigation there was demonstrable spastic obliteration of the lumen of a lobar bronchus. Two similar cases are described.
Anatomy and development of the cricoid: serial-section whole organ study of perinatal larynges.
Whole organ serial-section study contributes to our understanding of neonatal intubation injury by demonstrating the previously undescribed "V" configuration of the posterior cricoid lamina; this may be readily correlated with subarytenoid paramedian intubation injury. This technique also permits detailed study of an anomalous larynx and permits the precise identification of a "tracheal" anomaly as a cricoid malformation. The need for a fetal staging system is reemphasized.

Chevalier Jackson Lecture: pediatric laryngobronchoesophagology.
The Jackson heritage in Pediatric Laryngobronchoesophagology is briefly outlined. It has been precisely 25 years since the author completed his pediatric endoscopic residency. With the aid of references to the scientific papers presented at the meetings of the American Broncho-Esophagological Association, the evolution of a number of facets of present day Laryngobronchoesophagology have been delineated over the intervening quarter century.
Intraoral and cutaneous juvenile xanthogranuloma.
A three-year-old male with histologically proven intraoral and cutaneous juvenile xanthogranuloma is described. In our review of the literature published in English we were unable to find a similar case report. The clinical and histologic features of this disorder are discussed.
Innominate artery compression of the trachea in infants with reflex apnea.
Compression of the trachea by an anomalous innominate artery in association with reflex apnea is a frequent cause of respiratory arrest in infants. Once considered, tracheoscopy is mandatory to rule out this disorder. Surgical correction of this condition by innominate arteriopexy has proven to be a very effective method of management. Seventy-eight patients with tracheal compression by an anomalous innominate artery managed by the authors at The Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago between January 1977 and December 1979 are presented. In this series, 28 patients had a history of one or more episodes of reflex apnea; all of these patients underwent an innominate arteriopexy. A complete review of this syndrome and methods of its diagnosis are scrutinized. We agree with previous authors that reflex apnea is a definite indication for surgical correction of this vascular anomaly causing tracheal compression, but other indications are delineated.
Laryngeal development and congenital lesions.
In considering laryngeal development, functional development and the comparative anatomical approach of Sir Victor Negus must be included in addition to classical morphological development; postnatal questions are considered in addition to embryological and fetal development.
Histopathology of acquired subglottic stenosis. A documented case report.
The history of a 2,900 g infant who had no stridor at birth and developed subglottic stenosis is presented in detail. The laryngeal lumen, which accepted a 3 mm endotracheal tube at one day of age, diminished to total occlusion at 15 months of age. There was an 8-day intubation and tracheotomy at nine months. At 19 months the patient expired from associated cardiac problems; the larynx was obtained at autopsy and was serially sectioned in the horizontal plane. A series (Imm-Tracer) of 12 sections through the stenotic area is presented. It demonstrates gross distortion of the cricoid cartilage with ossification extending into the right paraglottic larynx.
