Excerpt from Acute Edema of the Larynx, With the Report of a Case Resulting From Pyemia
Finaz de Seisel,1 was the first to suggest the passage of an elastic catheter into the larynx for the preven tion of suffocation from edema of the larynx. It does not appear, however, that he ever performed this operation himself, but he had often seen it prac tised by Desault. Numerous memoirs appeared after those of Bayle and Tuilier, but it was Bouillard that recognized the inflammatory niture of thedisease. He reported three cases, in each of which the edema was of the secondary variety. Cruveilhier also recognized the inflammatory nature of the affection, and gave it the name of submucous laryngitis. He divided the disease into supra-glottic and infra glottic edema. In 1852, Sestier4 wrote his elaborate treatise 011 edema of the larynx, and collected the surprising number of 245 cases. From these he compiled his statistical results, which have been made use of in every_ important communication on the subject since that time. In 1862, Mandli' studied chronic edema of the larynx with the aid of the laryngoscope, and recognized the ary-epi glottic folds transformed into glistening cushions. This was the first communication on the subject after the introduction of the laryngoscope.
