What is 'Laryngotrach anomaly' ?

I have been approved for coverage for 'Laryngotrach Anomaly Nec' under the CSHCS program. I know it has to do with laryngeal papillomatis but I do not know the exact def. Can anyone help?

Sounds like an odd growth or object in the area of your larynx.

"Laryngotracheal Anomaly" is a general term for conditions in which the trachea and larynx are partially occluded. The occlusion can be from papilloma, webbing, narrowing which is not congenital, etc. Many such conditions can be corrected with laser surgery.
