OBJECTIVE The excision of laryngeal papillomas poses a great challenge for both the anesthesiologist and the surgeon. The narrowness of the airways and the great variability of the pathological lesions necessitate close collaboration between the surgical and anesthesia teams to provide optimal operating conditions and ensure adequate ventilation and oxygenation. Our aim was to explore periopera...

There are several lasers available for office-based or suspension microlaryngoscopy laser procedures in the treatment of laryngeal diseases. Each has advantages and disadvantages given depth penetration per unit power, absorption water, spectral characteristics, mode delivery, safety, cost. It is important to note that while proper selection indication based on a wavelength critical, equal impo...

The objective of this study is to identify association of GSTM1 and GSTT1 null gene polymorphisms with risk of cancer in defined populations in South India with histologically confirmed pre-malignant laryngeal lesions. Different parameters were taken into consideration and a demographic risk profile was defined as reported from a hospital-based cancer registry in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, Indi...

We describe a new technique for removing anterior vocal fold lesions, which cannot be visualized with conventional suspension laryngoscopy. These situations are rare and the only alternative surgeons have had previously is an open laryngeal procedure. The technique we describe involves the use of a laryngeal mask airway (LMA), a flexible bronchoscope with biopsy channel, a 400 microm laser fibr...

Histoplasmosis is a granulomatous disease of worldwide distribution caused by a dimorphic fungus Histoplasma capsulatum. Majority of primary infections in immunocompetent hosts are asymptomatic or may present with flu-like illness. Histoplasmosis may occur in three forms: (i) Primary acute pulmonary form, (ii) chronic pulmonary and (iii) disseminated form. The manifestations of disseminated for...

Airway management in patients with pemphigoid lesions has anaesthetic implications. We report a case of a 23 years old female with bullous pemphigoid who presented with laryngeal stenosis and critical airway narrowing. The airway was initially managed with jet ventilation. Anaesthesia was maintained with propofol infusion and ventilation was performed by introducing a size 10 French gauge sucti...

Laryngeal cancer occurs rarely in adolescents and young people. Castleman's disease is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder of uncertain etiopathogenesis and heterogeneous clinicopathological forms. Involved lymph nodes and extranodal lesions in the course of Castleman's disease may mimic malignant involvement. We report a case of an 18-year-old woman with T2N0M0 laryngeal glottis cancer treated...
