Is a species of consumption analogous to phthisis pulmonalis, produced by inflammation and ulceration of the interior of the larynx, and sometimes by caries of the cartilages. Phthisis trachealis, Tracheophthisis, (F.) Phthisie tracheale, is a similar affection, seated in the trachea. Chronic inflammation of the larynx and trachea may exist, however, without tubercles or phthisis.
