ABSTRACT
Introduction: Laryngeal papillomatosis (LP) is caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which obstructs the upper airways. Direct contact is the form of contagion, most frequent in adults, although it can appear from childhood and persist throughout life, including during childbirth. The larynx is the most affected and can present mild signs such as dysphonia, up to severe signs of Aerial obstruction. Case presentation: Patient is a 30-year-old female with a 37-week pregnancy, which began with symptoms of upper respiratory tract obstruction and later triggered death from anoxia caused by laryngeal papillomatosis. Discussion: the practice of necrosurgery leads to a teaching-learning process that generates knowledge for experts as well as for the students who participate in it, assisting in the pedagogical process. In the case presented, the pathophysiological outcome of a disease carries important information that may prevent future deaths, considering that the disease’s unimpeded evolution had dire consequences to the obstetric patient. Conclusions: With the presentation of this case, we intend to make necropsies visible as a formative element of enormous value for the student and experts in the medical and related areas, as well as value for science in general due to the contribution on pathology, epidemiology of diseases and pathophysiology.
