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 arc: haem-orrhage, abscess, pneumonia, etc. 496 DISEASES OF THE NOSE AND 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.
