Cavernous Breathing: Is There Such a Sound?

GEORGE G. ORNSTEIN M.D., F.A.C.P., F.C.C.P.1

1 New York, New York

The author has made the observation over a period of twenty years that the sound described by Flint and named by him "cavernous breathing" is not heard over cavities.

The author believes the sound Flint described was vicarious vesicular breathing, which he incorrectly associated with noises produced by the cavity.
