Abstract
A 17 month-old child with laryngeal papillomata is presented. The symptoms were stridor and gradually developing dyspnea. He underwent two surgical procedures within 4 months, using microsurgical techniques, and eventually recovered. The etiological factors of this rare entity are discussed. The relatively benign course in our patient is stressed, in view of the usual protracted course which is reflected in the literature.
