Laryngeal stenosis, exclusive of the malformations, occurs in twoforms—(i) functional and (2) organic. Functional stenosis of thelarynx results from paralysis of the muscles that open, or from spasmsof those that close it. The former commonly follows faulty innerva-tion, due to central disease of the nerve-trunks, or brain, or is secondaryto pressure on the nerves by tumors, aneurysms, etc. That paralysismay follow degeneration of the muscle without antecedent nerve changeseems doubtful.
