Diagnostic Work

Driscoll et al. (Pediatrics 57:648, May 1976) reported a series of 43 patients with chest pain evaluated by history and physical examination, psychiatric interview, screening laboratory studies, ECG, and chest x-ray film. No organic cause was identified in 45% of patients, and various psychiatric aspects of the pain were discussed. The history obtained from pediatric patients is often suboptimal, and specific pain characteristics and associations cannot be defined. We therefore propose that more vigorous diagnostic work-ups are necessary before chest pain can be classed as "idiopathic."

High Index Of Suspicion

Subglottic and tracheal malignancies are the least frequently encountered laryngeal cancers. When these tumors are encountered, they have often reached advanced size prior to producing symptoms. Once symptoms are brought to the attention of the otolaryngologist, rapid and accurate diagnosis is essential to effect the earliest possible treatment and to minimize morbidity and mortality associated with this problem. Illustrative cases are presented including a highly unusual case that presented with cardiac-like chest pain. A review of the literature including the pertinent anatomy, pathophysiology, and methods of diagnosis and treatment is presented. Increased familiarity with this disease process and a high index of suspicion on the part of the otolaryngologist may lead to improved survival patterns in patients with these malignancies.
