Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an evolving noninvasive imaging modality that has been used to image the human larynx during surgical endoscopy. The design of a long gradient index (GRIN) lens-based probe capable of capturing images of the human larynx by use of swept-source OCT during a typical office-based laryngoscopy examination is presented. In vivo OCT imaging of the human larynx is...

OBJECTIVE To review the pathophysiology of early and late radiation-related tissue changes, methods to differentiate these changes from disease recurrence, and treatment of these changes in the irradiated larynx. DATA SOURCES Peer-reviewed publications. REVIEW METHODS PubMed database search. CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE Early and late radiation-related changes in the larynx manif...

Cette communication concerne le rôle du larynx dans l'acte de communication. Toutes les langues du monde utilisent des configurations caractéristiques du larynx, aux niveaux segmental, lexical, et supralexical. Nous présentons d'abord l'utilisation des différents types de phonation pour distinguer entre les consonnes et les voyelles dans les langues du monde, et également du larynx comme lieu d...

Extramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a rare tumor of the larynx. Whereas more than 80 % of all EMP arise in the upper aerodigestive tract, only about 10 % of them are laryngeal.1 Since the first report on EMP of the larynx in 1913 by Wachter1, less than 100 additional cases have been described in the world literature, the subglottis and epiglottis area being the most commonly involved subsites ...

Paraganglioma of the larynx is a rare neoplasm which mostly arises from supraglottic area.  Herein, we report on a 45-year-old woman presented with supraglottic laryngeal paraganglioma.

Abstract The primary neuroendocrine carcinom is an uncommon head and neck malignancy appears only in approximately 1% of all malign tumours the larynx. They are aggressive tumors with a high rate metastases. exact classification still debated. According to latest classification, NEC Larynx divided into 3 subtypes: well differentiated (G1) NEC-L (Synonym: Carcinoid), moderately (G2) (synonym: at...

leprosy is an ancient deforming disease caused by mycobacterium leprae, which is still poorly understood and often feared by the general public and even by some in the health care professions fortunately, the outlook for patients has dramatically improved over the last three decades with the introduction of multi-drug treatment and management strategies that have somewhat diminished the stigma ...

The C-MAC videolaryngoscope was evaluated for intubation in patients with predicted extremely difficult airway. The presented cases are patients with neoplasm tumors in larynx. In all cases, awake intubation using C-MAC videolaryngoscope was performed in patients breathing spontaneously, under local anaesthesia, with oxygen administered via nasal catheter. All intubations were successful and un...

The Larynx, trachea and the main bronchi together form the extrapulmonary lower airways. After air has been warmed and moistened in the upper airways (nose and pharynx), it passes through the larynx – the guardian of the airways. the larynx separates the trachea from the esophagus and is the organ from which voice is produced. The air then passes the tube-shaped trachea, which bifurcates into t...
