Diseases of the nose and throat; a text-book for students and practitioners . y infiltration or cicatricialcontraction ; it may be inspiratory only, or constant; and mayimprove gradually, with a decrease of deposit, or suddenly,from expulsion of necrosed cartilage. Complications are : haem-orrhage, abscess, pneumonia, etc. 496 DISEASES OF THE XOSE AXD THROAT. It may be safely said that ulceration or cicatricial stenosisof the trachea, unaccompanied by evident laryngeal or pul-monary alteration, is syphilitic; when so complicated, it is prob-ably a combination of syphilis and phthisis. Cancerous growthsmay be excluded by the laryngoscope and by the priority oftheir dyspnoea over the ulceration and cough; and benigngrowths, by the absence of ulceration at any time, and by thelaryngoscope. The greatest difficulty may exist in distinguish-ing tracheal syphilis in children from enlarged bronchial glands. The prognosis depends upon the respiratory calibre. Treatment is mechanical and medicinal, and will be foundunder Syphilis of the Larynx and Stenosis of the Fig. 129.—Authors Case of Ixstkumexts.
