Two reports on our investigations of the peripheral nervous system in the human larynx were published in the ARCHIVES OF OTOLARYNGOLOGY during the past year.3,4 Part I described the sensory nerve elements in the mucous membrane, and Part II was devoted to the motor and sensory end-organs in the thyroarytenoid (vocalis) muscle. Both accounts dealt with the fully developed nervous system in human larynges from older children, adolescents, and adults (5 through 70 years of age).
We have deliberately divorced a discussion of the peripheral nervous system in the fetal and infantile larynx from our earlier reports. One reason for this decision lies in the astonishing difference between the 2 age groups, both in the sensory innervation of the mucous membrane and in the nervous elements of the vocalis muscle. A dearth of information presents the second reason for this specific concentration on the developing nervous system.
